Wilhelm Roentgen The history of radiology is filled with wonder and discovery. Since ancient times, people have been curious about the body, its structure, and how it functions. This led to the many creative individuals who helped pave the way for radiology; from as early as first century Archimedes and his explanation on the reaction of solids to George Eastman who produced a patented roll of film. All of these discoveries and inventions helped give birth to the discovery of x-rays by Physicist
