Innovative Medical Technology to Improve People's Well-Being

摘要

In Germany, everyone has heard of him: Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. He discovered the radiation that bears his name in the German-speaking world and in many central and eastern European countries: X-Rays. The ability to look inside the human body without having to open it up was revolutionary at the time and is among the most significant discoveries of the nineteenth century. This moment in 1 895 marked the birth of modern medical technology; Rontgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery in 1901. Since then, businesses, engineers, and medical professionals from Germany have been at the cutting edge of medical and technical development. Their activities in this area have been extremely successful - and profitable. For example, every second Magnetic Resonance Imaging (AARI) device is made in Germany.
