An X-ray generator generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. Possibly, radioisotopes can also be used to generate X-rays. [1]An X-ray tube is a simple vacuum tube that contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode, which collects the electrons and is made of tungsten to evacuate the heat generated by the collision.
It was Dotter who, in 1950, developed an automatic X-Ray Roll-Film magazine capable of producing images at the rate of 2 per second. On January 16, 1964, at Oregon Health and Science University Dotter percutaneously dilated a tight, localized stenosis of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in an 82-year-old woman with painful leg ischemia and ...
Elizabeth Fleischman, American X-ray pioneer (1899) Elizabeth Fleischman-Aschheim ( née Fleischman 5 March 1867 – August 3 1905) was an American radiographer who is considered an X-ray pioneer. Fleischman was the first woman to die as a result of X-ray radiation exposure.

Syl Adrian claims that his brother, Matthew Adrian, invented and built the first machine in Milwaukee; his name is featured in a 1922 advertisement for an X-ray shoe fitter. Clarence Karrer, the son of an X-ray equipment distributor, claims to have built the first unit in 1924 in Milwaukee, but had his idea stolen and patented by one of his ...
Natural color X-ray photogram of a wine scene. Note the edges of hollow cylinders as compared to the solid candle. William Coolidge explains medical imaging and X-rays.. An X-ray (also known in many languages as Röntgen radiation) is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than those of ultraviolet rays and longer than those of gamma rays.
In the year of 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen developed the first radiograph, more commonly known as the X-ray. [4] By 1901, Roentgen had been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his discovery. Immediately after its release, X-ray machines were being manufactured and used worldwide in medicine. [ 5 ]
The Grenz ray machine, used for radiation therapy on the skin, was invented by Gustav Peter Bucky, who had discovered Grenz waves (low energy radiation waves) in 1925. Bucky was born in Leipzig . He wanted to become an engineer, but his parents steered him toward medical school. [ 1 ]
