In 1890, Professor Arthur Willis Goodspeed, a teacher of physics at Pennsylvania U.S.A. was dealing with an English born professional photographer, William N Jennings, when they accidentally produced a Röntgen Ray image. The significance of their findings were neglected, and the formal discovery of X-rays was credited to Wilhelm Roentgen in1895 The discovery has since changed the practice of medication, and over the course of the past 130 years, the advancement of brand-new radiological techniques has continued to grow. The impact has actually been seen in practically every healthcare facility on the planet, from the regular usage of ultrasound for pregnancy scans, through to the medical diagnosis of complex medical problems such as brain tumours. More subtly, X-rays were also utilized in the discovery of DNA and in military fight, and their social impact through pop culture can be seen in cartoons, books, movies and art. Composed by two radiologists who want the history of their field, The History of Radiology is a perfectly illustrated review of the remarkable advancements within radiology and the researchers and leaders who were included. This engaging and authoritative history will interest a wide audience consisting of medical trainees studying for the Diploma in the History of Medication of the Society of Apothecaries (DHMSA), medical professionals, medical physicists, medical historians and radiographers.
