- 3. Often considered the father of interventional radiology who in 1964 performed the very first peripheral angioplasty, and made many other major contributions in this field.
- 9. In 1895 this physicist discovered x-ray radiation and its ability to produce images of bones.
- 10. A German-born, American radiologist who pioneered the development of anti-scatter grids in projection radiography with his invention, the Bucky diaphragm.
- 11. Published one of the first textbooks ever written on diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, “The Practical Application of the Roentgen Rays in Therapeutics and Diagnosis.”
- 14. : 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.
- 15. A quantitative measure of radio density used in evaluating CT scans.

- 1. They are remembered for their co-development of MRI, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 2003.
- 2. A pioneering radiologist who played a pivotal role in establishing radiology as a specialty in its own right.
- 4. Made medical history by carrying out the first computed tomography scan on a live patient, revealing a detailed image of a brain tumor.
- 5. : The first Obstetrician and Physician who used ultrasound imaging in his medical practices.
- 6. 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.
- 7. A pioneer in the field of radiographic education standardization, authoring the radiographic positioning textbook, which is still in print to this day.
- 8. 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.
- 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”
- 13. One of the two electrical engineers responsible for inventing the x-ray computed tomography scan in 1971.
- 16. Edison: He was able to develop the first fluoroscopic device, published in Scientific American in 1896.
