Un pionero entre pioneros: el doctor Hermann Gocht y el primer manual de aplicaciones de los rayos X en la medicina

Abstract

In 1898 the first manual was published on a new medical discipline that had not yet taken a definite form and still did not have an established name: radiology. Its author was the young German physician Hermann Moritz Gocht. The aim of this paper is to outline briefly the contents of the book, placing it in its historical context and in the career of its author.
