Fabio's Eye

Transportable X-ray systems with photo-fluorographic cameras were used for fast, low-cost mass examinations, especially for early detection and prevention of tuberculosis. These kinds of systems were also built int large buses that then served as mobile X-ray stations. The unit shown was used by the Bavarian health authorities to perform examinations in rural areas from 1959 into the 1970s.
