Rövid leírás:
This resource celebrates the discoveries of x-rays (1895), radioactivity (1896), and radium (1898), and recalls the pioneering achievements that founded the new science of radiology and changed the face of medicine forever. Over 700 historical illustrations with full and informative captions are supported by short introductory essays to illuminate the early years of discovery, invention, diagnosis, therapy, dosimetry, risk, and protection. The photographic record is complemented by archival accounts of the pioneer scientists and physicians and their early patients. The author covers diagnostic techniques, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, and museum and industrial applications of radiography, contrasting old methods with newer technologies.

A Century of X-Rays and Radioactivity in Medicine: With Emphasis on Photographic Records of the Early Years celebrates three great discoveries-x-rays (1895), radioactivity (1896), and radium (1898)-and recalls the pioneering achievements that founded the new science of radiology and changed the face of medicine forever. Over 700 historical illustrations with full and informative captions are supported by short introductory essays to illuminate the fascinating radiological past in an easy-to-read style.
The focus of this book is on the historically more interesting early years of discovery, invention, diagnosis, therapy, dosimetry, risk, and protection. Interspersed with a variety of radiological anecdotes, the photographic record is complemented by archival accounts of the pioneer scientists and physicians and their early patients. In the chapters on diagnostic techniques, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine, the author contrasts old methods with newer technologies. He also includes two fascinating chapters on museum and industrial applications of radiography. The book is comprehensively indexed for easy retrieval of the wide variety of people, techniques, apparatus, and examples featured throughout this radiological journey.
"? illustrated richly with an encyclopedic collection of most curios and enlightening prints depicting the entire course of the development of radiology in medical practice from the time of the discovery of x-rays and radioactivity from 1895 onward."
-International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology
"? a charming and quirky collection of the familiar and unfamiliar, the old and new, the mundane and bizarre. It is a treasure trove for instructors looking for anecdotes and at the same time, a solid source of historical information."
-Health Physics
"If you buy only one book on the history of radiology, then this should probably be it."
