November 8th marks World Radiography Day, commemorating Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s discovery of x-rays in 1895. This breakthrough revolutionized medicine and is considered one of the most significant advances in medicine. For this discovery, Röntgen won the first Nobel prize for physics in 1901. At the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, we celebrate this day by recognizing the vital contributions of our veterinary radiologists whose expertise allows us to diagnose and treat patients every day. In their honor, this post explores how X-rays help us see inside our animal patients.
