08 November 1895 - GREAT LEAP FORWARD IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS: German
physics professor Wilhelm Rontgen stumbled on X-rays while experimenting
with Lenard tubes and Crookes tubes and began studying them. He wrote
an initial report "on a new kind of ray: A preliminary communication"
and on December 28, 1895, submitted it to Würzburgos Physical-Medical
Society journal. This was the first paper written on X-rays. Rontgen
referred to the radiation as "X", to indicate that it was an unknown
type of radiation. Some early texts refer to them as Chi-rays having
interpreted "X" as the uppercase Greek letter Chi, Χ.[citation needed]
The name X-rays stuck, although (over Rontgenos great objections) many
of his colleagues suggested calling them Rontgen rays. They are still
referred to as such in many languages, including German, Hungarian,
Ukrainian, Danish, Polish, Bulgarian, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian,
Slovenian, Turkish, Russian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Japanese, Dutch,
Georgian, Hebrew, and Norwegian. Rontgen received the first Nobel
Prize in Physics for his discovery.
