The radiology of orbital trauma: an historical overview

Adv Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 1987:6:17-36.

Abstract

Professor Roentgen presented the roentgen ray in 1895. The subsequent history of radiology is characterized not by steady, but by stepwise advancement. Each new innovation produced a forward surge followed by a period of refinement in which the new method was developed and exploited to the very limits of its diagnostic yield.
