Denis Gérard Mulder (1883–1960) was a Dutch doctor and radiologist founding two clinics in Java at the former Dutch East Indies. He developed with his total X-ray technique a sophisticated method to record full size x-rays of the human body. In 1920 he married with Betsy Vreede, with whom he had five children.
Life and work[edit]
Denis Gérard Mulder was born on 15 February 1883 in Toeban (East-Java). From 1902 to 1909 he studied medicine in Utrecht among others with Cornelis Adrianus Pekelharing. In 1909 he received a diploma as general practitioner. In 1913 he founded with Jalan Cimanuk a clinic to treat tuberculosis in Garut (Java).[1] Above all he opened up a pharmacy and photo lab. The latter was taken over by the Dutch photographer Thilly Weissenborn in 1920, when Mulder was appointed as Public Medical Officer for West Java and moved to Bandung.
In 1923 Mulder received a doctor degree in Utrech with the dissertation "De invloed der moderne kultuur op het verloop der syphilis bij den Soendanees". Thanks to the support by Jacob Clay and the philantropist K. A. R. Bosscha he could build up after a medical institute in Bandung focussing on radiology and UV light therapy.[2] Within very little time he developed his unique total X-ray technique: With a very powerful X-ray tube he exposed from a distance of several meters full human bodies on large film.[3] In 1927 he published his new method in the publication "Total-X-Fotos" of a format and modern design similar to a fashion magazine.[4] The richly illustrated outreach publication was not only received in medical circles: Three of his full body X-rays were part of the Film und Foto exhibition in Stuttgart organized by the German Association of Craftsmen. After Bosscha's death in 1928 the financial situation for his institute became more and more difficult. In 1938 Mulder returned to the Netherlands. After having been bombed out in 1945, he could rebuilt in 1948 his Medical Light Establishment in Bezuidenhout in the Hague, where he practised until his death on 7 September 1960.
