1995 marks the centennial year of the discovery of x-rays. The medical profession advanced rapidly following Roentgen's discovery of the x-ray. Every aspect of medicine came to rely on radiology in some way. The x-ray not only revolutionized diagnostic medicine, it transformed therapeutic medicine as well. Only months after its discovery, the x-ray was being used with therapeutic intent, thus began radiation therapy. We can examine the development of radiation oncology in several periods.
1995年是X射线发现一百周年。伦琴发现X射线后，医学专业迅速发展。医学的各个方面在某种程度上都开始依赖放射学。X射线不仅彻底改变了诊断医学，也改变了治疗医学。发现后仅几个月，X射线就被用于治疗目的，放射治疗由此开始。我们可以分几个阶段来考察放射肿瘤学的发展。
