Photograph showing the interior of the X-ray department at the Marie Curie Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases, London, 1934. Depicted are the control board, dosimeters, and windows for viewing patients and instruments. Founded by medical women for the "radiological treatment of women suffering from cancer and allied diseases," the hospital opened in 1929 with the encouragement of Marie Curie, who allowed her name to be used, and it was staffed entirely by women.
