    RADIOLOGY: A HISTORIC

    PERSPECTIVE
    Evangelista Torricelli- barometer
    Otto van Guericke invented
    an air pump that was capable
    of removing air from a vessel
    or tube
    Robert Boyle
    and Herman
    Sprengel
    William Gilbert of England- was one of the
    first to extensively study electricity and
    magnetism
    Robert Boyle, an Irish philosopher,
    chemist and physicist discovered
    that electric force could be
    transmitted through a vacuum and
    observed attraction and repulsion.
    Isaac Newton
    built and
    improved the
    static generator.
    Charles du Fay, working
    with glass, silk, and paper,
    distinguished two different
    kinds of electricity
    Abbé Jean-Antoine Nollet
    made a significant improvement in the electroscope, a vessel
    for discharging electricity under vacuum conditions.
    William Watson
    demonstrated a current of electricity by transmitting electricity from a
    Leyden jar through wires and a vacuum tube
    In 1785, British physician, physicist and
    statistician William Morgan presented a
    paper to the Royal Society of London in
    which he described the effects of passing
    electrical currents through a partially
    evacuated glass tube. He describes how a
    glow appears, and today this glow is
    believed to have been produced by x-rays.
    Morgan’s report is thus the earliest one of
    x-ray production, even though Morgan did
    not call them x-rays or know what was
    causing the glow.
    Heinrich Daniel Ruhmkorf

    made significant improvement


    on induction coils
    Johann 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

    cathode rays could penetrate thin metal and


    would project a few centimeters into the air.

    determined their energies by measuring the


    amount of penetration.
    He also studied the deflection of rays as a result of
    magnetic fields.
    Radiograph of coins made by A.W. Goodspeed (1860- 1943)
    and William Jennings (1860-1945) in 1896, duplicating one
    they had made by accident in Philadelphia on 22 February
    1890. Neither Goodspeed nor Jennings claimed any priority in
    the discovery, as the plates lay unnoticed and unremarked
    until Roentgen's announcement caused them to review the
    images. Department of Radiology, Penn State University
    College of Medicine
    Johann Heinrich Schulze

    Produced the first photographic copy of written material


    Richard Leach Maddox produced a
    film with a gelatin silver bromide
    emulsion that later became the
    basic component for film
    George Eastman produced and
    patented roll paper film
    WILHELM CONRAD ROENTGEN

    BORN: March 27, 1845, in Lennep, a small


    town near the Rhine River in Germany
    Remscheid-Lennep, just south of the industrial
    Ruhr Valley between Dsseldorfand Cologne

    WIFE: Anna Bertha Ludwig (Dutch)


    DAUGHTER: Josephine Bertha Ludwig
    FATHER: Friedrich Conrad- textile merchant
    MOTHER: Constance Charlotte Frowein
    Birthplace of Roentgen in
    Remscheid-Lennep
