Description

Canada’s first medical X-ray examination was performed. It happened soon after X-rays were discovered, showing how quickly the technology spread. This was used to help locate a bullet that could not be found by surgery alone. This early use helped introduce X-ray imaging into Canadian medicine. Over time, this became a standard tool for diagnosis and treatment planning.
