Abstract
Radiology is, comparatively speaking, a youth among the great medical specialties. Its entire life history lies within the life span of the average person; it is only half as old as the American Medical Association. Roentgen made his great discovery on Nov. 8, 1895. Radiology may be said to have appeared as a specialty in American medicine in the year 1900 with the organization of the American Roentgen Ray Society. It was not listed as a major specialty by the American Medical Association until 1921. Yet in this relatively short period of time it has revolutionized the practice of medicine. Physicians have always been prompt to utilize great scientific discoveries whenever they seemed to offer help in the diagnosis or treatment of disease. In the long history of medicine there is no record of the acceptance of a scientific discovery with such enthusiasm as that which greeted the roentgen ray.
