Abstract
The roentgen diagnosis of intracranial disease is one of the most difficult chapters in diagnosis. This can be easily understood when one considers the manifold structures of various densities, but of vital importance, accumulated in the small space of the cranium. Not only the anatomic position of the organs but also their anatomic variations add to the difficulties. It is therefore not surprising that the early roentgen diagnostic work of many authors was incomplete and disappointing. A systematic development of this branch of science was originated by Schüller<sup>1</sup>in Vienna, in 1912. The vast material of the Viennese psychiatric clinic of Wagner-Jauregg, in conjunction with the excellent help of Holzknecht's roentgen institution, helped to achieve this success. The foundation laid down by Schüller needed further building, particularly in the branches of medicine, as in otology, neurology and ophthalmology. Great progress to this effect has been made in recent years
