Curie’s first mobile radiology lab must have seemed like something hatched by a mad scientist. Combining an X-ray machine, a darkroom for developing images, and a dynamo to power the process.
24 sie 2021 · She created small, mobile X-ray units called “Petite Curies” which were vehicles containing an X-ray machine and darkroom equipment. She trained over 150 women to operate the units which ultimately helped treat over one million soldiers near the battlefront.
