In this talk he will review the lives and contributions of the early radiology pioneers from Rontgen, Madame Curie and others and also cover the development of early ultrasound, CT, MRI and interventional radiology and AI. The talk will provide a historical overview of some of the key developments in radiology throughout the 20th century and the pioneers involved in these developments and will also remind us what the lives of these pioneers can teach us in our current era.
