After early efforts began to harness the power of x-rays for diagnosis and therapy, some physicians and physicists chose to focus instead on the development of radioactive isotopes. In his latest Moments in Radiology History installment, radiology historian Otha Linton examines the advances that ultimately led to the field of nuclear medicine.

Moments in Radiology History: Part 11 -- The 1st residents
The early years of radiology saw many physicians take up the new discipline with little or no formal training. That soon began to change with the establishment of the first radiology residency program in 1915, which accepted one resident, according to radiology historian Otha Linton.

Moments in Radiology History: Part 10 -- RSNA show's early days
When RSNA held its first meeting in December 1915, the conference attracted 30 of the nascent society's 62 members to a Chicago hotel. Now closing in on its 100-year anniversary, RSNA still meets in Chicago, but it draws 60,000 radiology professionals to what has become the world's largest medical meeting.

Moments in Radiology History: Part 8 -- Imaging of black lung
In 1969, the U.S. Congress passed a new piece of legislation on coal mining that called for compensation to miners who had developed pneumoconiosis, or black lung. The new program relied heavily on medical imaging to detect the disease, with radiology playing a major role in the program's implementation.

Moments in Radiology History: Part 7 -- Early x-ray treatments
Today, diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology are distinctly separate disciplines -- but things weren't always that way. In fact, the early pioneers of radiology began experimenting with the new rays for therapeutic purposes almost as soon as they were discovered.
