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]
1990s A rising interest in the construction of a combined PET-CT scanner emerges.[5]
2000s PET/CT becomes one of the fastest growing medical imaging modalities, rivaling the growth of MR during the 1980s and 1990s.[6]

1971 Field development 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.[9] United Kingdom
1972 Field development Godfrey Hounsfield introduces the first clinical prototype of CT scanner.[4][7][1][5][22][23] United Kingdom
1972 Field development The EMI parallel beam scanner is introduced.[22]
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.[9][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.[24]
1975 Field development Michael E. Phelps, Michel Ter-Pogossian, and co-workers at Washington University School of Medicine introduce the modern PET scanner. The design is a ring system surounding the patient.[5] United States
1975 – 1980 Field development "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.[25] 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.[9] 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"[7]

1991 The first functional MRI (fMRI) of the brain is conducted by Belliveau et al.[23]
1998 Ronald Nutt and David Townsend present the first combined PET-CT prototype scanner. It 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. The combination also makes it much easier and less expensive for physicians and hospitals to have access to both forms of technology.[9][5] United States
2000 The PET-CT scanner, attributed to David Townsend and Ronald Nutt, is named by TIME Magazine as the medical invention of the year.[5]
2001 The first commercial PET-CT system, Discovery LS, is released by American multinational GE Healthcare. It consists in a single-slice spiral CT integrated with a PET scanner with BGO detectors.[5] United States
2003 Award Peter Mansfield shares with Paul Lauterbur the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, , for discoveries concerning Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
2004 Field development The Siemens 64-slice spiral CT is introduced.[22]
2006 PET-only scanners are no longer obtainable as major medical centers and clinics opt for PET/CT to replace their PET-only scanners and newly-established diagnostic imaging centers go directly to PET-CT.[6]
2008 Field development Over 2500 PET-CT scanners are operational worldwide.[6]
2012 The International Day of Radiology (IDoR) is introduced. It is celebrated on November 8 each year.[7]
