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] |
Full timeline
| Year | Event type | Details | Country/region |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1895 | German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen first discovers the X-ray.[1][3] | ||
| 1896 | French physicist Antoine-Henri Becquerel discovers radioactivity.[3] | France | |
| 1896 | Journal | Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy launches as the first radiology scientific journal.[3][4] | United Kingdom |
| 1896 | After learning about Röntgen’s discoveries, American inventor Thomas Edison invents fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopic screens would be then used as an alternation to still x-ray images for some time.[5][3] | United States | |
| 1898 | Marie Curie publishes her paper Rays emitted by uranium and thorium compounds.[3] | France | |
| 1901 | Award | Wilhelm Röntgen is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to the study of radiation. | |
| 1903 | Lay x-ray operators start being appointed as assistants. | ||
| 1913 | German surgeon Albert Salomon initiates research leading to mammography.[3] | ||
| 1918 | George Eastman introduces film, which would replace radiographs made onto glass photographic plates.[1][5] | ||
| 1920 | Organization | The Society of Radiographers is formed in the United Kingdom as a trade union and professional body for x-ray and radiation technicians.[1][5] | United Kingdom |
| 1920 | Organization | The American Society of Radiologic Technologists is founded.[6] | United States |
| 1927 | Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz develops cerebral angiography.[3] | Portugal | |
| 1934 | "Frederic and Irene Joliot-Curie artificially produce radioisotopes"[3] | ||
| 1936 | "John Lawrence uses phosphorus-32 to treat leukaemia"[3] | ||
| 1939 | "Kitty Clark publishes Clark’s Positioning in Radiography"[3] | ||
| 1950s | "David Kuhl invents Positron Emission Tomography (PET)"[3] | ||
| 1953 | "Sven-Ivar Seldinger develops his famous technique"[3] | ||
| 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.[5][3] | United Kingdom | |

In the same year, the first successful medical scan using this machine is done on a live patient.[5] | United Kingdom | |
| 1972 | The first CT scan is announced.[1] | ||
| 1972 | "Godfrey Hounsfield introduces the CT scanner (co-developed with Allan Cormack)"[3] | ||
| 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.[5] | 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.[7] | ||
| 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.[8] 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.[5] | 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"[3] | ||
| 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.[5] | 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."[5] | ||
| 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"[3] |
