Wilhelm C. Rongten - He discovered radiology on November 8, 1895. The first known x-ray image is his wife's hand. Why are they called X-ray's? - It was given the name of X for unknown. Crooke's Tube - X-rays images was taken with this tube apparatus that was developed by William Crookes in the late 1800s. It consists of a glass tube filled with a small amount of gas. Electrodes in the tube allow for the passage of electricity through the gas. Accreditation - Is a process to ensure high ...
