| Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen | German physicist
Produced and detected electromagnetic radiation (x-rays)
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901
Father of Diagnostic Radiology
First radiograph was taken of his wife's hand and ring
🗑
|
||||
| Dr. Otto Walkoff | Developed first dental radiographs in 1896
He was both the patient and the dentist
Exposure time was 25 minutes
Diagnostic quality left a great deal to be desired

||||
| Dr. Edmund Kells | First practical use of radiographs in dentistry in 1896
Lost an arm due to overexposure while experimenting with xrays
🗑
|
||||
| First dental radiographs made in the United States | Made in 1896 with the use of Eastman NC roll film wrapped in black paper
🗑
|
||||
| William Rollins | Developed the first dental x-ray unit in 1896
Reported burns to his hands because he held the film in the patient's mouth during exposure and recommended lead shielding of both the x-ray tube and the patient and worker
🗑
|
||||
| William David Coolidge | Invented the x-ray tube (Coolidge tube)
First high-vacuum x-ray tube with a heated cathode as the source of electrons
Significantly increased radiation intensity
Allowed reliable control and fine adjustment
🗑
