Étienne DESTOT

1864–1918

Étienne Destot was born in Dijon and educated in Lyon, where in February 1896, less than 2 months after the announcement of the discovery of the x-ray by Rontgen, he was already making radi- ographs of patients in the Hôtel Dieu. He had great enthusiasm for this new method and devoted a major share of his time to developing the tech- nique and its application to clinical medicine. His work led to the publication of three monographs, the first dealing with injuries of the wrist,

Because of severe radiation damage to his hands, he was forced to give up his position as the radi- ologist at the Hôtel Dieu in 1913. In addition to his work in radiology, he was also interested in medical applications of electricity and neurology.

In the course of his work he made many contri- butions to orthopedics. He was something of a tal- ented eccentric, a sculptor, and the designer of an aerodynamic car with an aluminum body! He was sent to the western front as a medical officer in World War I, and died as a result of pneumonia in 1918.
