- Received an offer from the University of Würzburg in 1888.
- Became interested in cathode ray experiments using Crookes tubes.
Discovery of X-rays
- On November 8, 1895, Roentgen observed fluorescence on a barium platinocyanide paper near a Crookes tube.
- Roentgen realized this was a new type of ray, rather than light or electricity, escaping the Crookes tube.
- Roentgen's subsequent experiments demonstrated the rays' ability to penetrate materials and dependence on material density.
- On December 28, 1895, Roentgen presented his findings to the Würzburg Physico-Medical Society.
Medical Use of X-rays
- Roentgen recognized the potential medical applications of X-rays.
- Roentgen demonstrated bone visualization using his own hand as an example.
- Further experiments validated the validity of his findings.
Roentgen's Recognition and Later Life
- Roentgen received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
- Received an invitation from the Carnegie Institute in 1902 but did not accept.
- Died in Munich on February 10, 1923.
Marie and Pierre Curie
- Marie Curie discovered radium and polonium.
- The Curies developed treatments for cancer.
- In WWI, the Curies supported wounded soldiers by providing mobile radiology units.
- Marie Curie was a two-time Nobel Prize winner and a pioneer for women.
- The Curies used their understanding of radioactivity to design instruments to measure radiation (no matter form).
Nuclear Radiology
- Continuous improvements in X-ray equipment continued after Roentgen's discovery.
- Ernest Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron (1932) allowed for the acceleration of particles for use as projectiles.
- Enrico Fermi (1942) produced a chain reaction in a uranium pile at the University of Chicago.
Modern Radiology
- The advancements in radiology have been remarkable.
- Diagnostic and therapeutic equipment includes CT scanning, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy.
- Specialized areas of radiology exist today including ultrasound, neurovascular radiology, digital vascular imaging for IV angiography
Summary
- Advanced equipment produces multiple exposures precisely in contemporary radiology departments.
- Continuous education remains essential to keep up with evolving technologies
