Sonderbände zur Strahlentherapie, 12-14
Urban & Schwarzenberg, 1930. Hardcover. A substantial and technically focused compilation from the early development of radiotherapy, Sonderbände zur Strahlentherapie, vols. 12–14 (Berlin & Vienna: Urban & Schwarzenberg, 1930), brings together three monographic studies reflecting the field’s transition toward quantitative and clinically systematized practice. Wilhelm Flaskamp’s extensive treatment of radiation injury surveys both the immediate and long-term effects of X-rays and radioactive substances on tissues, emphasizing the biological risks inherent in therapeutic irradiation and the necessity of careful dosage control . Friedrich Voltz’s work on the radiological treatment of female genital carcinomas presents methods and clinical outcomes at a time when such therapies were still being standardized, while Grebe and Nitzge’s tabular guide to X-ray dosage provides practical computational tools grounded in contemporary understanding of radiation measurement and absorption.
