History of X-ray Technology

Wilhelm Rontgen = Invented the x-ray in 1895 Thomas Edison = Pioneered fluoroscopy Marie Curie = Developed mobile x-ray units John Crapper = Enhanced radiographic techniques

X-ray = A form of electromagnetic radiation Fluoroscopy = Real-time imaging using x-rays CT Scan = Cross-sectional imaging technique MRI = Uses magnetic fields for body imaging

1895 = Invention of the x-ray 1901 = Rontgen received the first Nobel Prize in Physics 1956 = Introduction of the first fluoroscopy system 1977 = Development of the first MRI machine
