X-rays were invented by German physicist R ö ntgen and are therefore also known as R ö ntgen rays. They have certain applications and developments in fields such as medicine and industry.
In 1895, R ö ntgen discovered X-rays and curiously used them to take a photo of his wife’s finger bones. The photo clearly showed the outline of the gold ring on her finger bones and ring finger, making it the first X-ray photograph of a human skeleton in human history.
X-rays were successfully applied in clinical medicine in the second year. Because of this, R ö ntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
1.Understand the imaging principle of X-rays
X-rays are a type of radiation with relatively short wavelengths and possess certain electromagnetic properties. The wavelength is approximately within ten nanometers and has a certain degree of penetration. It can penetrate some transparent and opaque substances. Nowadays, X-rays are commonly used in medical instruments.
The X-ray tube scans around a certain layer of the human body, using a detector to obtain the intensity values of the radiation passing through each layer, and using computer and image reconstruction principles to assist medical treatment.
The earliest and most important application of X-rays in medicine was to enable doctors to observe the internal structure of the human body, providing important information for diagnosis. Currently, X-ray images account for 80% of hospital images and have become the main imaging equipment in clinical diagnosis.
The dual column digital X-ray imaging system is mainly used for digital X-ray photography examination of the chest, abdomen, bones, and soft tissues, with excellent imaging.
2.How to understand double column DR in layman’s terms?
The dual column DR is a medical device designed with a dual column structure, specifically tailored for medical examination centers, disease control centers, and examination vehicles.
DR, in layman’s terms, refers to digital X-rays. X-rays are a traditional imaging examination method mainly used for preliminary screening of some diseases.

4.A brief understanding of the development of medical diagnostic technology
Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895, and by the early 20th century, X-ray diagnosis had become an important tool in clinical medicine. Originally used to observe bone condition, bismuth paste was used to examine gastrointestinal motility in 1906, and later barium meal, iodine oil, and other X-ray imaging techniques were used.
Subsequent significant advances in diagnostic techniques include electrocardiography (1903), syphilis seroreactivity (1906), cerebral angiography (1911), cardiac catheterization (1929), and electroencephalography (1929).
In the early 1950s, ultrasound technology was applied in medicine. In the 1960s, Japan used optical fibers to make gastroscopes. Nowadays, various fiber optic endoscopes have been applied in clinical practice.
After the 1970s, with the application of computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging technology, even small lesions could be detected, and diagnostic medicine and human health have become major issues of global concern.
