Dr. Bruwer was a longtime radiologist at TMC. In the 1960s he began experimenting with X-ray photography, utilizing a compact, lead-lined X-ray machine originally designed for hospital research. The low-voltage capability of the machine allowed Dr. Bruwer to capture the delicate structures of natural objects. He called these images skiagraphs: "skia" and "graph" come from the Greek words for “shadow drawing.” The three skiagraphs donated to the hospital by the artist's daughter are hanging just outside Radiology.
