INTRODUCTION:

History of Radiology:

In the year of his fiftieth birthday, Rector Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen noticed a barium platinocyanide screen fluorescing in his laboratory as he generated cathode rays in a Crookes tube some distance away. Leaving aside for a time his duties to the university and to his students, Rector Roentgen spent the next six weeks in his laboratory, working alone, and sharing nothing with his colleagues. Three days before Christmas he brought his wife into his laboratory, and they emerged with a photograph of the bones in her hand and of the ring on her finger. The Würzburg Physico-Medical Society was the first to hear of the new rays that could penetrate the body and photograph its bones. Roentgen delivered the news on the 28th of December 1895. Emil Warburg relayed it to the Berlin Physical Society on the 4th of January.
