... Over the past century or so there have been many important breakthroughs in all areas of medical science which have benefited us all. ... In this essay I am going to try and explore the history of x-ray imagery and explore how these images impact on our every day lives.
I will look at the introduction of x-rays first discovered (by accident) by Professor Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895 and used as a medical imaging tool in the early 1900’s, to the development of modern digital (computerized) x-ray imaging techniques and computed tomography (CT) scanning used today. ...

The German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered x- rays, for which he in 1901 received the first Nobel Prize for physics. ...
Of the various medical imaging techniques available to today’s physicians CT has the unique ability to image a combination of soft tissue, bone, and blood vessels. ... X-ray imaging technology plays a vital role in most areas of modern internal medical diagnosis, from a broken arm to a malignant brain tumour.
