Centennial of Röntgen's discovery of x-rays

R I Frankel. West J Med. 1996 Jun.

Abstract

November 8, 1995, marked the 100th anniversary of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's discovery of x-rays. This remarkable scientific achievement has had an effect on medicine and science that has been matched by few other advances. I will briefly review the events leading up to Röntgen's discovery and the subsequent development of radiology as a discipline.
