  1. 3. / She was the first woman ever to receive a Nobel Prize. She used her newly discovered element, radium, to be the gamma ray source on x-ray machines. This allowed for more accurate and stronger x-rays. She also created smaller and portable x-ray machines that could be used by medics in the field.
  2. 4. and Mansfield / They are remembered for their co-development of MRI, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 2003.
  3. 6. Unit / a quantitative measure of radiodensity used in evaluating CT scans.
  4. 10. / A French scientist renowned for his work and subsequent discovery into the evidence of radioactivity for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.
  5. 11. and Nutt / These two individuals are considered the inventors of the PET-CT scanner. This scan uses two technologies simultaneously to add a precise anatomic localization to functional imaging.
  6. 13. / A pioneer in the field of radiographic education standardization, authoring the radiographic positioning textbook, which is still in print to this day.

  6. 8. Donald / the first Obstetrician and Physician who used ultrasound imaging in his medical practices.
  7. 9. Cormack / One of the two electrical engineers responsible for inventing the x-ray computed tomography scan in 1971.
  8. 12. / He can proudly take responsibility for one of the great medical breakthroughs of the 20th century – the invention of the MRI machine.He is also known as the “father of MRI”
