Cineradiography — What Is It?

At Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, a specially-equipped laboratory makes possible the simultaneous photographing and fluoroscoping of dogs as they move at controlled speeds on a treadmill. This procedure, known as cineradiography, is similar to “moving X-rays.” To make the films more graphic for the layman, Mrs. Elliott has traced them in simple drawings that enable us to clearly see what happens “inside” at the corresponding stage of the dog’s movement.
