Abstract
Biomedical imaging began 100 years ago: in 1885 Roentgen discovered X-rays and in the early 1970s computed tomography (CT), in the early 1980s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and in the last few years posctron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) have come to be.
