  Invented barometer in 1643
• Otto van Guericke 


  Air pump capable of removing air from a vessel or tube in 1646
• William Gillbert


  First to extensively study magnetism and electricity. Invented primitive electroscope
• Isaac Newton


  Built and improved static generator
• Chales du Fay

  Worked with glass, silk, and paper and distinguished 2 kinds of electricity. Vitreous and resinous
• William Watson


  Demonstrated a current of electricity by trabsmitting electricity from a Leyden jar through wires and vacuum tube
• Michael Faraday


  Discovered electromagnetic induction wherein he induced an electric current by moving a magnet and out of a coil
• Johann Wilhelm Hittorf

  First to compute electricity carrying capacity of charged atoms and molecules (ion)
• Richard Leach

  A film with a gelatin silver bromide emulsion that has remained the basic components
• Wilhelm Roentgen


  He interested in cathode ray tube experiments with the crookes tube, which he wanted with until his discovery of x-rat
• Thomas Alva Edison 


  Attempted to explain the nature of rays to the citizens in the united states. However, no one fully understood the effects of the radiation

• Anna Bertha Roentgen

  Wife of Wilhelm Roentgen
• Discovery of X-ray

  Wilhelm Roentgen. He notuced the Barium Platinocyanide screen
• Nuclear Radiology 


  The branch of radiology that use radioactive materials for medical diagnosis and treatment.
• Computed Tomography 


  Computed tomography is the conventional x-ray combined with radiation detectors and a digital computer.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging

  Magnetic resonance imaging is a medical imaging modality that uses, instead of the x-ray, nonionizing radiofrequency waves, a strong magnetic field, and a computer to produce an image.
• Nuclear Medicine


  Nuclear medicine uses ionizing radiation to produce a physiologic image or to visualize the functioning of a specific organ.
• When a physician requests a radiographic examination, the radiologic technologist’s responsibility is to:

  1. Interact with the patient 2. Establish and maintain an atmosphere of caring and empathy for the patient. 3. Treat the patient as a guest in a home.
