Tracing Medicine's Visual Culture

Beschreibung

Moving images are used as diagnostic tools and locational devices in hospitals, clinics and laboratories. But how and when did such use become established/accepted sources of knowledge about the body in medical culture? This book traces the history of scientific film since the late 19th century.
