title: [The development of radiology and the Society for Medical Radiology of the DDR].
abstract: After a retrospective history of radiology since the discovery of x-rays the development of medical radiology and the Society for Medical Radiology of the DRG are described. Cornerstones of these development are the foundation of the Society for Medical Radiology in 1954, the continuous increase of the numbers of examinations until 1974, the significantly increased availability of modern imaging methods since 1985 and the introduction of special training courses for physicians in the fields of diagnostic radiology, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine in 1988. A bibliography was compiled, containing data on the numbers of available devices, costs in medical care and the impact on life expectancy.
