- W1977388766 abstract "The fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of “the new kind of ray” by Professor Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen demands a survey of the great benefits that were thereby conferred upon mankind. Many of the details in the earlier development of roentgen therapy, preceding 1933, have been so well covered by Dr. U. V. Portmann (50) in the “Science of Radiology” that it would be superfluous to repeat them here. Because of the brevity of this review, also, it will be impossible to do justice to all who have made valuable contributions to the progress that has been made in roentgen therapy. Professor Röntgen, the modest and true scientist, when he discovered this “new kind of ray” in November 1895, did not immediately proclaim it from the housetop. Instead he was anxious to study the characteristics of these rays thoroughly before making an announcement. Not even his two assistants knew of the discovery. He handed his “preliminary” paper “On a New Kind of Ray” to the President of the Würzburg Physical Medical Society (57) on Dec. 28, 1895, and it was included in the Annals of the Society for that year. A friend scientist to whom Professor Röntgen had sent some of his first x-ray pictures loaned them to another friend, who without consent had the story published on Jan. 6, 1896, in the Wiener Presse. Immediately thereafter announcements were made throughout the world, in the newspapers and in scientific journals, but apparently Röntgen made but a single public address on the subject, on Jan. 23, 1896, before the Physical Medical Society of Würzburg. The importance of both the physical and medical aspects of his discovery is emphasized by the presentation to this combined society. It was at this meeting that von Kölliker proposed that these unknown or “x” rays be called “Röntgen rays.” Professor Röntgen published two subsequent scientific papers (58, 59) to record his complete investigations, but immediately after the publicity given, without his knowledge or consent, on Jan. 6, 1896, teachers of physics throughout the world repeated these demonstrations in their own laboratories. As a matter of fact, x-rays were being produced in every laboratory of physics where high-tension currents were being passed through Crookes tubes, and some of the photographic effects were recognized even before Röntgen's discovery (Fig. 1), but were not sufficiently investigated. I myself recall seeing the characteristic greenish light of a Crookes tube excited by a static machine in the demonstration of matter or gas in the “radiant state” by Prof. L. G. Cope, in a lecture on physics in 1893, at the Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pa. This was my first but unrecognized experience with x-rays." @default.
