Abstract
During the last century many discoveries in the field of medical imaging were made leading to multiple modalities which are used now in day to day practice. During this workshop latest developments in research of medical imaging will be discussed. Lectures will be mostly focused on the development of nuclear medicine and MR-imaging. As an introduction to this field this article discribes some historical aspects of the discovery and the use of x-rays, nuclear medicine and nuclear magnetic resonance. It is based on cited articles and book chapters.
