Abstract
Summary
An apparatus has been described permitting intracavitary radiation of hollow viscera accessible to intubation. In preliminary trials the technic has been used to induce achlorhydria in the stomach of dogs. This technic may have additional practical applications for lesions in the rectum, bladder, bronchi and other organs or tracts accessible to intubation.
The valuable suggestions of Dr. A. C. Corcoran and Dr. Otto Glasser, and the technical assistance of Dr. C. Ballinger are gratefully acknowledged. Assistance in fabrication of the intragastric bag was provided by the American Anode, Inc., Akron, Ohio.
