Bet ya didn't know...November (the week of November 8th) is Rad Tech Week.
Radiology began in 1895 when Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen accidentally discovered x-rays, which he named "x-rays" because their nature was unknown. Key developments include the first medical application in 1896, Thomas Edison's fluoroscope in 1896, the first CT scan in 1972, and the widespread use of MRI in the 1980s. Marie Curie famously developed mobile x-ray units, known as "petites Curies," during World War I to help battlefield surgeons.
We are proud of our RAD team at GRMC, always friendly and smiling taking great care (and important pics) of our patients.
Happy RAD Tech week to our RAD team.
