State X-Ray, Radiology and Cancer Institute in Leningrad

Going in the spring of this year on a scientific trip to Leningrad, I willingly accepted the proposal of Prof. V.S. Gruzdev to get acquainted on site with the Leningrad Radiology Institute and send a description of the latter to the editors of the "Kazan Medical Journal". The purpose of this article is to inform the readers of the latter institute, at least briefly, about the construction and the work of that institute. I want the subscribers of our magazine not only know about the existence of this relatively young institution, but also have some idea of its condition and activities. In compiling this description, I have used partly the data from my personal inspection of the institutions of the Institute and partly the material from the collection published by the latter for the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution, which contains an outline of the Institute's activities over nine years.
