Good day ladies and gentlemen!
Today, innovative technologies in medicine play a big role.
Now you can easily identify the disease and to have a successful treatment.
And once it was a big problem for humanity.
How can you help someone break an arm or a leg?
Since then doctors have not been able to look at the source of the illness.
But one brilliant discovery could save many lives and relieve them from suffering!
X-rays were discovered!
X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
The discovery of x-rays was occurred on 8 November 1895.
On that day the x-Ray worked late in his laboratory.
Already preparing to leave, he put out the lamp, and suddenly saw a slight greenish glow. substance in the jar on the table was glowing.
X-ray forgot to unplug one device in the electronic vacuum tube.
He turned off the tube – the glow disappeared, turned – appeared.
The most surprising was the fact that the unit stood in one corner of the laboratory, and the jar with the glowing substance in another.
So the scientist decided that unknown radiation comes from the device.
X-rays began to carefully explore the mysterious rays.
In front of the tube he installed the screen and to determine the effect of radiation, placed in between different items.
Book, Board, sheets of paper – they were transparent to the rays.
Under the beam the hand of the scientist accidentally hit.
X-ray was in shock.
He saw his own moving bones of the hand.
Bone like metal was impervious to the rays.
The first of the outstanding discovery of x-rays found out the wife of the scientist.
X-ray with X rays photographed his hand.
It was the first ever x-ray.
The discovery of x-rays shocked the whole world.
Nowadays x-rays are used in different fields of science and technology.
Art historians can accurately determine the authenticity of paintings, to distinguish the gems from imitations, and customs officers became easier to apprehend the smugglers.
But, the main place, the application of these rays – medical institutions.
A year after the discovery of x-rays were used to diagnose fractures.
But ray was much wider.
In medicine was established the new field of radiology.
Modern medical technology with the help of x-rays examine any internal organs.
However, x-ray radiation has a negative quality.
If used improperly, it becomes a health hazard.
Scientist Roentgen made the brilliant discovery that shocked the world and fundamentally changed the technology of medicine.
Thanks to this, now we can avoid many diseases.
In conclusion I want to quote the famous Greek physician Hippocrates
"Medicine is truly the most noble of all arts".
