PY - 2011 T2 - Basic Radiology, 2e AB - When Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the x-ray in November 1895, he investigated it thoroughly, testing its ability to penetrate various inanimate objects and observing its effects on fluorescent screens and photographic film. He gazed in amazement at the image of the bones of his own hand as he allowed the new rays to penetrate his flesh. He made a photographic x-ray image of a hand (reportedly his wife's) and sent prints of it together with his paper describing the new phenomenon to a carefully selected list of scientific colleagues.
