“Crookes tube”, a partially evacuated glass tube
Sir William Crookes
Accidentally discovered x-rays
Sir Wilhelm Contad Roentgen
First x-ray picture in 1896 of his wife’s hand
Roentgen
Earliest known practical use of x-rays was for
Foreign body localization
Used x-rays to localize bullets in forearms of two separate patients during Ethiopian Campaign
LTC Giuseppe Alvaro
Used x rays during Tirah Campaign
Major W. C. Beevor
X-rays were used by the U.S. Army for the first time
1898 Spanish American War
First Radiologists (doctors)
Roentgenologists
First x-ray techs
Manipulators
Roentgen discovers x-rays
1895
Several investigators demonstrate the use of soluble iodine compounds as contrast media
1920
The Potter-Bucky grid is introduced
1921
Rhe rotating anode x-ray tube is introduced
1929
First automatic roller transport film processing (Eastman Kodak) is introduced
1956
Rare Earth radiographic intensifying screens are introduced
1974
Picture archiving and communications system (PACS) becomes available
1982
Use of knowledge in an organized and classified manner
Science
Study of the universe and its contents
Natural science
Rate of change of position of an object over time
Velocity (speed)
Rate of change of velocity over time
Acceleration
Property of matter that resists its change in motion
Inertia
Push or pull of an object
Force
Study of nonliving matter
Physical science
Branch of physical science that studies matter and energy-efficient, and their relationships
Physics
Comprises the systematic collection of facts, the study of their relationship, and the drawing of valid conclusions
Scientific Method
3 Laws of Motion
Law of Inertia, force, action/reaction
Body will remain at rest or if in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity
Law of Inertia
Force acting on a body is proportional to its mass times acceleration
Force
Formula for force
F = mass x acceleration
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Action/Reaction
A system of numbers that is based on multiples of 10
Decimal System
Refers to the exponential form of the decimal system
Powers of Ten
A figure, extent, or amount obtained by measuring: Dimension
Measurement
British Engineering System; foot, pound, seconds
English System
Centimeter, Gram, Second (CGS) or Meter, Kilogram, Second System (MKS)
Metric System
Fundamental Units of Measurement
Mass, Length, Time
Old definition- distance between two scratches on a bar of platinum
Meter
New definition- one meter is now defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/299,792,468
Meter
Equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), which is almost exactly to thr mass of one liter of water
Kilogram
Transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of thr cesium 133 atom; second
Time
Old definition- time it takes for the earth to make one rotation on its axis
Second
One thousandth of a second
Millisecond
One billionth of a second
Nanosecond
Freezing point of water for Celsius
0°C
Boiling point of water for Celsius
100°C
Freezing point of water for Fahrenheit
32°F
Boiling point of water for Fahrenheit
212°F
Celsius temp conversion
C = 5/9 (F-32)
Fahrenheit temp conversion
F = 9/5 C + 32
Obtained by various combinations of the fundamental units

Candela
Unit of force
Newton
Unit of energy
Joule
