THE PIONEERS

OF RADIOLOGY

FIRST CENTURYA.D.

*ARCHIMEDES- he explained the reaction of Solid when placed on Liquids.

*DEMOCRITUS- he describes materials as composed of ultimate particle.

*THALES- discovers some effects of electricity.

S

radioactivity*Pierre Curie- he noticed radium killed decease cell while he was experimenting with radium on animals, which was the first suggestion of the medical utility of radioactivity.

*Marie Currie- she refined the knowledge of radioactivity & purified the radium metals.

-In 1911, she received a Nobel Prize for her work in Chemistry.

-she continued to study radioactivity until she suffered a severe illness that required a kidney operation.

-she trained herself as an x-ray technician.

*Henri Becquerel- he had been interested in the phosphorescence, the emission of light following body’s exposure to light of another color.

Three specific aspects of physical science that helped pave the way

to the Discovery of X-RAY:

ELECTRYCITY, VACUUMS & IMAGE-RECORDING MATERIALS

•EVANGELISTA TORRICELLI- he produced the first recognized vacuum, when he invented a BAROMETER in 1643

•OTTO van GUERICKE- he invented an AIR PUMP that was capable of removing air from vessel or tube in 1646

•WILLIAM GILBERT- he was one of the first man to extensively study Electricity & Magnetics

-he was also noted for inventing ELECTROSCOPE

17TH CENTURY*ISAAC NEWTON- (discovers Gravity) build & improve static generator.

*CHARLES DUFAY- he was working with glass, silk & paper, distinguish two kinds of electricity.

*WILLIAM WATSON- demonstrated a current of electricity by transmitting electricity from a Lynden Jar through wires & vacuum tubes.

*MICHAEL FARADAY- induced an electric current by moving a magnet in & out of a coil.

*BENJAMIN FRANKLIN- he conducted many electrical experiments.

18TH CENTURY

*WILHELM HITTORF- conducted several experiments with cathode rays, streams of electrons emitted from the surface of a cathode.

*WILLIAM CROOKES- furthered the study of cathode rays and demonstrated that matter was emitted from the cathode with enough energy to rotate a wheel placed within a tube.

*PHILIPP LENARD- he did a tremendous amount of research with cathode rays and determined their energies by measuring the amount of penetration.

*WILLIAM GOODSPEED- produced RADIOGRAPH in 1890.

His achievement was recognized only in retrospect after the discovery of X-RAY.

18TH CENTURY*J.H. SCHOLTZ- produced the first photographic copy of written material.

The Image-recording materials or the photographic recording techniques, were very important to the investigators of the cathode rays.

*R.L. MADDOX- he produced a film with a gelatine silver bromine emulsion that has remained the basic component of film.

*GEORGE EASTMAN- he produced & patented roll- paper film.

*WILHELM RöNTGEN- he accidentally discover a new kind of invisible ray which he called “x-ray”
