Advances in radiology

الملخص EN

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen set the field of radiology ablaze back in 1895 with his discovery of X-rays.

Roentgen's advance in physics and medicine lit the path for those who followed his example, as various groups were eager and interested in creating and improving technical devices.

He received a Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of X-rays in 1901.

The progress in medical imaging is mainly due to the change from analogue to digital imaging, continuing increase in computer power, advances in micro-instruments, communication technology and lately by the impact of molecular biology.
