Radiology, Then and Now

The field of radiology has seen countless changes in the last century since x-rays were discovered 125 yrs. ago and it seems that the changes are happening even more quickly due to the transition to the digital world. Changes to the equipment, changes to the processes, changes to the techniques, & changes to the profession are happening more rapidly than we can adapt and assimilate. In order to survive and remain competitive – it is essential that we stay abreast of these changes as well as gain an appreciation of the past accomplishments that we have all contributed to. This presentation will highlight many of the studies that were commonly performed in the mid-70’s when I was a student and new technologist and compare and contrast them to the way we image body systems today. You will be totally astounded and entertained.

  • Describe procedures that were commonly performed in the 70’s;
  • Explain the advances in the technologies that took us to where we are today;
  • Outline future developments in science and technology develops;
  • Compare and contrast traditional and contemporary techniques.
