Abstract
Roentgen’s discovery of x-rays revolutionized diagnostic medicine. For the first time, physicians could visualize internal organs and determine with precision whether bones were broken, hearts enlarged, or lungs opacified. Cannon’s introduction of heavy element contrast material to study the physiology of the gastrointestinal system opened up another dimension and increased the utility of radiological procedures. Heavy element contrast material was used, albeit briefly, to visualize the liver and spleen with thorotrast and, more lastingly, as iodinated material to display the kidneys, vascular system and spinal canal. Obversely, air has been used as a contrast agent in the nervous system and bowel as well. With these Important but relatively primitive tools, a vast experience with two-dimensional radiology was developed along with procedures that by the early 1960s were providing some 60% of all medical diagnoses.
