Roentgen Ray Therapy, Early 20th Century

Roentgen ray therapy at the Institute of Fotoradiotherapy of Professor Celso Pellizzavi in Florence Italy. The field of radiation therapy began to grow in the early 1900s largely due to the groundbreaking work of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Curie, who discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium. This began a new era in medical treatment and research. Phototherapy is the treatment of a disorder, especially of the skin, by exposure to light, including ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Also called light treatment
