Big picture
| Time period | Development summary |
|---|---|
| 1950s | In the decade comes the development of image intensifier and x-ray television.[1] |
| 1960s | Ultrasound gains popularity.[1] |
| 1970s | The 1970s are known as the "golden decade" of radiology, when the CT scanner opens up new opportunities and discoveries which would be further developed in the following decades.[2] Magnetic resonance imaging develops.[1] |
| 1980s | Position emission tomography (PET) emerges as new technology.[3] Clinical MRI is also introduced in the 1980s.[4] |
Full timeline
| Year | Event type | Details | Country/region |

| 1927 | Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz develops cerebral angiography.[5] | Portugal | |
| 1934 | "Frederic and Irene Joliot-Curie artificially produce radioisotopes"[5] | ||
| 1935 | The higher radiological qualification known as the Fellowship is created by The British Association of Radiologists.[3] | United Kingdom | |
| 1935 | The Society of Radiotherapists of Great Britain and Ireland is established.[3] | United Kingdom | |
| 1936 | "John Lawrence uses phosphorus-32 to treat leukaemia"[5] | ||
| 1939 | "Kitty Clark publishes Clark’s Positioning in Radiography"[5] | ||
| 1939 | Organization | The Faculty of Radiologists is formed, amalgamating the British Association of Radiologists and the Society of Radiotherapists of Great Britain and Ireland.[3] | United Kingdom |
| 1950s | "David Kuhl invents Positron Emission Tomography (PET)"[5] | ||
| 1953 | "Sven-Ivar Seldinger develops his famous technique"[5] | ||
| 1958 | Scottish physician Ian Donald develops the first medically used ultrasound to observe the health and growth of fetuses. Donald also uses the ultrasound to study lumps, cysts, and fibroids. Donald, Together with engineer Tom Brown, develop a portable ultrasound machine to be used on patients.[7][5] | United Kingdom | |
| 1961 | James Robertson, working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, builds the first single-plane positron emission tomography (PET) scan.[7] | United States | |
| 1962 | American scientist David E. Kuhl introduces emission reconstruction tomography. This method later becomes known as SPECT and PET.[3] | United States | |
| 1962 | Organization | The European Association of Radiology was established.[3] | |
| 1964 | "Charles Dotter introduces image-guided intervention"[5] | ||
| 1965 | "Benjamin Felson publishes his Principles of Chest Roentgenology"[5] | ||
| 1967 | The first clinical use of magnetic resonance imaging takes place in England.[3] | United Kingdom | |
| 1971 | English electrical engineer Godfrey Hounsfield builds the prototype computerized tomography (CT) machine, which utilizes both x-rays and computer software to create cross-sectional images of the body. In the same year, the first successful medical scan using this machine is done on a live patient.[7] | United Kingdom | |
| 1972 | Godfrey Hounsfield introduces the first clinical prototype of CT scanner.[4][5][1] | United Kingdom | |
| 1973 | American chemist Paul Lauterbur develops the way to generate the first two-dimensional and three-dimensional magnetic resonance images (MRIs). In the same year, Lauterbur publishes the first nuclear magnetic resonance image.[7][4] | United States | |
| 1975 | Frank T Farmer gives an interesting historical review of the physical basis of radiology and demonstrates diffraction patterns as obtained by Von Laue.[9] | ||
| 1975 – 1980 | "Real-time" ultrasound machines are introduced.[1] | ||
| 1977 | English physicist Peter Mansfield of the University of Nottingham describes the general principles of echo-planar imaging.[10] Mansfield develops echo-planar imaging for MRIs by mathematically analyzing the radio signals from magnetic resonance imaging. This development allows for images to be collected much faster than previously possible.[7] | United Kingdom | |
| 1977 | The first human image is obtained through magnetic resonance imaging, in Aberdeen, Scotland.[1] | United Kingdom | |
| 1977 | "Ray Damadian builds the first commercial MRI scanner"[5] | ||
| 1979 | Award | South African physicist Allan McLeod Cormack and Godfrey Hounsfield are awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for the development of computer assisted tomography". | |
| 1985 | Argentine physician Julio Palmaz develops the balloon-expandable stent, thus transforming interventional radiology.[7] | United States | |
| 1998 | "Ronald Nutt and David Townsend invent the PET-CT scan which combines positron emission tomography and computerized tomography in such a way as to make it easier for physicians to locate tumors and other structures on the images. By combining these two scans into one machine, they also made it much easier and less expensive for physicians and hospitals to have access to both forms of technology."[7] | ||
| 2003 | Award | Peter Mansfield shares with Paul Lauterbur the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, , for discoveries concerning Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | |
| 2012 | "inaugural International Day of Radiology"[5] |
