title: [Trends in Vienna radiology--from roentgen laboratory to university clinic for radiodiagnosis].
abstract: In Vienna/Austria, with leading representatives of the so-called second Viennese medical school at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, the detection of x-rays by W. C. Röntgen was observed with special interest. In the general hospital of Vienna, where still today the medical school of the university of Vienna is hosted, high research activities to understand the origin and the effects of X-rays were performed. Guido Holzknecht (1872-1931) was the first chairman of the central roentgen laboratory. Today, the scientific and the clinical activities at the department of diagnostic radiology are manifold and virtually all fields of imaging are covered.
