X-Ray Roentgenography, fluoroscopy, spinography, and 36-inch radiographs of the spinal column are necessary for diagnostic purposes. Stu- dents are trained in X-ray technic and dark room experience. Chiropractic was among the first to utilize Roentgen's discovery of the X-ray. Since 1910 roentgenography has been an invaluable aid. Through findings of the X-ray, patients may trace their progress and watch the spinal curves return to the normal column. This is an exceptionally gratifying sensation to those who were previously informed that no help was possibleg that their spines would remain deformed forever.
