A hundred years ago, the introduction of Mobile X-Ray Units by Marie Curie provided vital support to wounded soldiers in WW1. Before this innovation, field surgeons operated without precise knowledge of injuries, risking further harm during surgeries. Curie leveraged her scientific expertise and resources to establish a fleet of X-ray-equipped vehicles that brought medical technology closer to the front lines. She not only learned to operate the machines but also involved herself in logistical challenges, including securing donations and driving vehicles, showcasing her commitment to her adopted country during a tumultuous time.
Marie Curie's innovative use of Mobile X-Ray Units during WW1 revolutionized battlefield medicine, saving countless soldiers by pinpointing injuries with precision.
Curie's determination to utilize her scientific skills for France during WW1 led her to create mobile X-ray units, transforming field surgery and saving lives.
