Abstract

Soon after the discovery of x-rays by W. C. Roentgen in 1895, a publication on fluoroscopy and x-ray pictures/films appeared in the Dutch medical literature in February 1896. The present article reviews the subsequent developments in the field of therapeutic radiology in The Netherlands and, in particular, the evolution of radiation oncology as a distinct medical specialty.
