The Nobel Prizes have been awarded since 1901 from the interest rate of the principal, established for this purpose in the form of a foundation by the inventor of dynamite, the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel. The disciplines for which they are assigned are Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Physiology, Literature and Peace, and, starting in 1969, economics. As early as the mentioned 1901, the year of the first awards, the Nobel Prize in Physics was received by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for his discovery of the X-rays on the 8th of November 1895, which is considered to be the foundation of the modern medical discipline of clinical radiology. Further discoveries followed, such as the ones of computed tomography imaging or magnetic resonance imaging, which have significantly improved clinical radiological diagnostics. Other Nobel Prize winners for discoveries and inventions related to the speciality of clinical radiology will be highlighted on this trail. The areas of their scientific research from which they have received the aforementioned awards will be analysed, and their impact on the development of clinical radiology will be evaluated.
