Scenes from the past - Nikola Tesla and the discovery of X-rays

Every radiologist is aware of Nikola Tesla’ s research in the field of electromagnetism. But if the discovery of x-rays is mentioned, only a few radiologists associate it with Tesla’ s name. He invented his own vacuum tube, which was a special unipolar x-ray bulb, and produced the first x-ray image in the United States. The main reason why Tesla’ s contribution to the discovery of x-rays hasn’ t become better known is that much of his work was lost when his laboratory in New York burnt down in March 1895.
