Re: History of X-Rays

[LIPTONW@dteenergy.com]

Just last night (Tuesday, January 19, 1999), "The History Channel" showed a 
program on the history of x-rays as part of its "Modern Marvels" series.  I 
didn't watch the whole program, but it seemed excellent, starting with 
Roentgen's work and concluding with CAT Scans, PET, and MRI (not x-rays, but 
also interesting).  The program is available on video for $19.95 plus 
shipping/handling.  The History Channel has a Web page which most likely 
includes information on when this program will be rebroadcast and how to 
obtain the video. 
 
The opinions expressed are strictly mine. 
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
