Medical imaging equipment was scarce in World War II, which forced Army radiographers to use their ingenuity to conduct exams. In this 1944 image, an Army radiographer from the 36th General Hospital in Caserta, Italy, improvises an extension cylinder using a shell casing attached to a Picker field unit. ASRT members can learn more about radiographers in WWII by reading The Shadowmakers, available on the ASRT website. http://www.asrt.org/main/about-asrt/asrt-history/the-shadowmakers?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=historicalimage82314&utm_campaign=shadowmakers
