The Future of Radiology? - NaBloPoMo Post #4/Day 5
Radiology has come a long way from 1895 when Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the x-ray. In keeping with the digital age, manufacturers have even invested heavily in the research and production of the newer digital x-ray machines and corresponding software.
According to Nature, researchers at UCLA have made a discovery that has the potential to change radiology as we know it.
They have found out that simply peeling ordinary scotch tape in a vacuum can generate enough X-rays to take an image.
Scotch tape!!! Can you believe it?
If 3M can develop this discovery then x-ray machines may not have to be so expensive. Think about it: scotch tape, digital cassette and a computer. The possibilities are mind-boggling!
