• Resumen

  • The discovery of x-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen changed medicine. Where, before that time, doctors treating patients had to guess what was going on inside bodies or do invasive surgery, they were now able to peer through the skin, imaging bones and some soft tissues. Military surgeons were quick to embrace the technology, using x-rays to find bullets and shrapnel that needed removing.
