Recommended: 3 page info about discovery of X-rays.

The history of 3d imaging started in 1895 when the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen reviled the discovery of a new penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation. He realized the potential medical application of his discovery. So he reported his invention to the Physical Medical Society of Würzburg, and he included in his presentation an X-ray image of his wife’s hand.

    Wilhelm Roentgen investigated the light phenomena and other emissions created by releasing electrical currents in Crookes tubes, and glass bulbs, evacuated of air, with negative and positive electrodes. When a high voltage current was sent through these bulbs, a fluorescent glow would be displayed in them. During this time, Roentgen was studying electrical ray’s path as they were passing from an induction coil through a glass tube that was partially evacuated. For this experiment, the tube he used was in a completely dark room, and it was covered in black paper. Roentgen noticed that the platinobarium screen, which was nine feet away and covered in fluorescent material, was illuminated. He knew that the screen was illuminating due to the rays.

    The X-ray was first discovered in 1895 by a German physicist named W.C. Roentgen (“The Discovery”). W.C. Roentgen was working in his lab one day in 1895 and decided to send a high electrical current through a cathode ray filled with special gas. He realized that a dim green colored light was being produced, and decided to hold the cathode ray just above his wife’s hand. When he did this he observed that the light was able to penetrate human skin, but would leave all the bones visible. There is a picture below of the X-ray of W.C. Roentgen’s wife’s hand (“The Discovery”). He named it the X-ray because he did not know the identity of what kind of ray it was. He just named it X, because of its use in solving unknowns in algebraic equations (“The Discovery”).

    Walking. A natural progression in the development of a person. From the day a baby begins to walk, it becomes a fundamental activity that he does for the rest of his life. Walking is a universal movement that we do not consciously think about in order to do it. Walking a line is probably the easiest thing a human being can do to mark his place, to have his footsteps imprinted on the land.

  • The Future Of 3D Printing In The Medical Industry

    2308 Words  | 5 Pages

    3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything. 3D printing was invented in the mid 1980s and was initially known as additive manufacturing. It consists of the fabrication of products through the use of printers which either employ lasers to burn materials (sintering) or place layer upon layer of material (known as stereolithography), eventually resulting in a finished item. Unlike the traditional manufacturing process, which involves milling, drilling, grinding or forging molded items to make the final product, 3D printing “forms” the product layer by layer. There are many different technological variants but almost every existing, 3D printing machine functions in a similar way: a 3D computer-aided engineering (CAD) file is sliced into a series of 2D planar sections and these are deposited by the printer, one above the other, to construct the part.

    Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg was born on July 4, 1883, in San Francisco.  He began tracing illustrations when he was four years old, and first he took professional drawing lessons when he was eleven. Goldberg married Irma Seeman on October 17, 1916. He was best known for a series of popular cartoons depicting complicated gadgets that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways, giving rise to the term Rube Goldberg machines for any similar gadget or process. born July 4, 1883, in San Francisco.

  • Computed Tomography and Radionuclide Imaging

    991 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a starting point in CT diagnostic imaging the form of radiation used to provide an image are x-rays photons , this can also be called an external radiation dose which detect a pathological condition of an organ or tissue and therefore it is more organ specific. However the physics process can be described as the radiation passes through the body it is received by a detector and then integrated by a computer to obtain a cross-sectional image (axial). In this case the ability of a CT scanner is to create only axial two dimensional images using a mathematical algorithm for image reconstruction. In contrast in RNI the main property for producing a diagnostic image involves the administration of small amounts of radiotracers or usually called radiopharmaceutical drugs to the patient by injection or oral. Radio meaning the emitted of gamma rays and pharmaceutical represents the compound to which a nuclide is bounded or attached. Unlike CT has the ability to give information about the physiological function of a body system. The radiopharmaceutical often referred to as a nuclide has the ability to emit ga...

    A unique stage of progress in photography is the discovery of the pinhole technique. The history of the pinhole technique originated with observations made by Aristotle’s in the 4th century (Chernewski 2010). This philosopher was known for writing about his interpretations regarding pinhole photography. Following Aristotle’s observations, philosopher Mo Ti conducted experiments geared towards researching the properties of light. Mo was able to determine that light travels in straight lines (Grepstad 1996). Upon discovering that light travels in a straight line, Mo was able to record the formation of an inverted image with a pinhole camera (Grepstad 1996). Although Mo was able to understand the pinhole technique, it wasn’t until the 16th century when Leonardo Da Vinci was able to provide a clear description of a pinhole camera (Chernewski 2010). The end result of these philosophers’ experimentations was the development of the pinhole technique using a pinhole camera. They were able to create a new method in which people could capture images through photography.

    The holography technology could record and display full information of three dimension objects by using interference and diffraction of light. It was invented in 1940s and develops to several types. For example, rainbow hologram is a wildly used technology on credit cards and currencies. Traditional hologram needs laser to reconstruct, but rainbow hologram only needs the white light, like sunshine. After this, people try to make hologram easier to reconstruct whereas the recording methods have not been simplified much. In the future, the digitalization may help holography go further.
