People (kinda)

• November 8, 1895 - discovery of x-ray
• Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen - a German physicist
• Roentgen taught at University of Wurzburg, Germany
• Roentgen experimented with cathode rays and exploring the properties outside glass tubes. “Crooke’s Tube”
• During his work, Roentgen observed that a screen that had been painted with barium platinocyanide was emitting light (fluorescence).
• The “X” in x-ray was for unknown!
• in 1901, Roentgen received the FIRST Nobel Prize in Physics.
• Roentgen published the first medical x-ray image in early 1896.
• Anna Bertha Ludwig – discovered first indication of the possible medical applications by hand. first xray experimentation
• A young patient, Eddie McCarthy broke his wrist
• William Gilbert -Studied electricity and magnetism. Invented primitive electroscope
• Robert Boyle electricity earned him a place with serious investigators
• Michael Faraday - electromagnetic induction,
• Johann Wilhelm Hittorf - streams of electrons emitted from the surface of a cathode.
• William Crookes - 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. Studied deflection of rays
• William Goodspeed - Produced a radiograph in 1890
• Richard Leach Maddox - Produced a film with a gelatin silver bromide emulsion that has remained the basic component for film.
• George Eastman - Produced and patented roll-paper film. the basis for modernday radiography was established.
• Roentgen - Born on March 27, 1845 in Lennep, Germany
• 1888 Roentgen was offered employment at the University of Wurzburg
• Pierre Curie - Noticed that the radium killed diseased cells. First suggestion of the medical utility of radioactivity.
• Pierre and his older brother Jacques Curie demonstrated an electric potential
• Antoine Henri Becquerel - Discovered that uranium salts emitted rays. discovered radioactivity
• Full Name of Marie Curie - Maria Salomea Skłodowska
• Marie Curie - Refined the knowledge of radioactivity and purified the radium metal
• 1911, Marie Curie received Nobel Prize for her work in Chemistry
• Marie Curie continued to study radioactivity until she became acquainted with Albert Einstein
• Marie Curie - achievements are radioactivity, isotopes, discovery of two elements: Polonium and Radium.
• Ernest Orlando Lawrence - invented cyclotron in 1932
• The cyclotron is a chamber that made it possible to accelerate particles to high speeds for use as projectiles.
• Enrico Fermi - induced a successful chain reaction in a uranium pile
• first known radiograph produced in the U.S. was made on January 2, 1896, by Michael Pupin.
• Clarence M. Dally - Suffered a severe x-ray burn (required amputation). Died of dose exposure
• discovery of radioactivity by: Pierre, Marie Curie and Antoine Henri Becquerel
• Pierre Curie noticed that the radium killed diseased cells, which was the first suggestion in medical utility of radioactivity
• World War 1 - french military
• full name of marie curie is Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie
