-
a German physicist named William Roentgen discovered the x-ray by using tubes similar to flourecent light bulbs.
-
Henri Becquerel started experimenting with minerals in the flourecent bulbs of the x-ray and discovered radioactivity.
-
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) was established which lead to new scientific developments.
-
At the University of Berkeley in California scientists preformed the first clinical treatment using artificial radioactivity.
-
First ultrasound preformed in Poland.
-
Scientist Kuhl develops the SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) and PET (pisitron emission tomography) method
-
The first MRI is preformed on a patient at a clinic in England.
-
Robert Ledley invents the CAT-SCAN producing a more detailed image compared to an x-ray.
-
A big concern errupted with x-rays and people getting exposed to radiation.
-
because of such advancements in technology radiography film will no longer be used and everything will just be digital images.
