Description
Summary:Beginning with the discovery of X rays in 1895, German scientists and clinicians were - instrumental in establishing the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, creating - the first radiation therapy peer-reviewed journal, and holding the first international - oncologic conference. These landmark achievements profoundly influenced the nascent - field of radiation oncology. However, the rapid early scientific progress was halted - by World War I, derailed during World War II, and slowly reestablished amid the divisions - of the Cold War.
