I was thinking about studying radiology, do you know anything about it?
Yes I do! It's the science of medical imaging. It's used to help diagnose people for things inside their bodies. It's very effective and a medical breakthrough.
That sounds complicated, is there a long history behind the science of radiology?
Yes! There are a variety of techniques used, like x-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography. The person who originally studied x-rays got very sick because they didn't realized that they can hurt you
That's really unfortunate for them! Who was that person that studied x-rays way back then?
x-radiation was discovered by a German scientist named Wilhelm Röntge. But I believe it was a lady who was first to use it for medical purposes.
