Title: Agriculture - Education - Massey College Publicity Caption: Radiologist examining a horse with modern Xray equipment at the Veterinary Sciences College, Massey University Photographer: R Anderson March 1969, Manawatu Archives New Zealand Reference: AAQT 6539 W3537 88/ A88991 <a href="https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24738968" rel="nofollow">www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24738968</a> The use of X-rays in modern medicine is now standard practice, but it wasn’t until their discovery in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen that x-rays could be used as a medical tool. In 1898 Marie and Pierre Curie built on Roentgen’s theory enhancing the understanding of radioactivity and how x-rays worked. Through this research the Curie’s revealed two elements; polonium and radium. During World War One Marie Curie also pioneered the use of x-ray. She developed mobile x-ray units to treat injured soldiers closer to the battlefields, thereby reducing treatment distances and times. X-Rays are now used to examine number of forms, from the human body to museum objects - <a href="http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2012/07/11/xray-vision-part-i/" rel="nofollow">blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2012/07/11/xray-vision-part-i/</a> This image above shows x-ray being used to examine a horse at the Veterinary Sciences College, Massey University. The photo is from Archives New Zealand's National Publicity Studios collection. The National Publicity Studios was established in 1945, but its beginnings can be traced back to the establishment in 1924 of a Publicity Office - part of the Department of Internal Affairs. The emphasis of this Publicity Office was on films, photographs and booklets.
