And basically everything we know about percussion, which you can think of as an ultrasound of its day -- organ enlargement, fluid around the heart, fluid in the lungs, abdominal changes -- all of this he described in this wonderful manuscript "Inventum Novum," "New Invention," which would have disappeared into obscurity, except for the fact that this physician, Corvisart, a famous French physician -- famous only because he was physician to this gentleman -- Corvisart repopularized and reintroduced the work.
Stort set alt vi kender til percussion, som man kan kalde den tids ultralyd -- organforstørrelse, væske om hjertet, væske i lungerne, forandringer i maven -- alt dette beskriver han i dette manuskript "Inventum Novum," "Ny Opfindelse," som ville være gået i glemmebogen, hvis ikke for denne læge, Corvisart, en kendt fransk læge -- kun kendt, fordi han var læge for denne herre -- Corvisart genpopulariserede og genintroducerede værket.
