Mr Wilhelm's Accomplishments

Before I get started on the achievements and life-history of one of Germany’s most famous scientists, let us briefly discuss the founding concept behind radiology. Radiology is a word known to many today but understood by few. As defined by the most current Oxford Dictionary, radiology is “the science dealing with X-Rays and other high-energy radiation, especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.” With thousands of Radiations equipment installed in hospitals around the world for life saving detections, all of the lives saved are because of an accidental discovery by a German Mechanical Engineer and Physicist named Wilhelm Conrad Rӧntgen. Wilhelm had many achievements over his lifelong career but his biggest

Wilhelm Rӧntgen was a German native, born on the 2th of march in 1845 in a small city known as Remscheid. Although Rӧntgen had not been well known until his later years, he had many conventional achievements in the form education. While he only attended a few Universities as a student and receiving his P.H.D from the University of Zurich in 1869, he had become a well-known instructor and just years after graduation. In 1874 he became a lecturer at the Academy of Agriculture located in Hohenheim and it was 15 years later, in 1888, that he had become a physics chair in the University of Wϋrzburg. Even still, his biggest achievement in education was in 1900 when the Bavarian Government had a special request for Mr. Rӧntgen to become a Physics chair at the University of

Thereafter, three other published works of his had followed between the years of 1895 and 1897. His discovery and the official recognition of the new type of rays by the Austrian newspaper in 1896, led Wilhelm Rӧntgen to be awarded the “Honorary Doctor of Medicine” from the University of Wurzburg. Although he had received many awards during his lifetime, the most prominent award was the Nobel Prize for Physics, awarded in 1901, in which he accepted the award itself but gracefully denied the acceptance of the monetary award that came with the physical award. He had then decided to donate the money to his past University instead. Not only this, Wilhelm Rӧntgen had turned down an opportunity to patent the X-ray in hopes that the world would share this knowledge to better society and medical
