History and etymology

The first ever radiology journal, the Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy was published in the United Kingdom in May 1896, a mere six months after Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of x-rays. This journal is the ultimate forerunner of the British Journal of Radiology (BJR) 1

The American X-Ray Journal was the first radiology journal published in the United States. Its first issue was issued in May 1897, its founder and first editor was an American physician Heber Robarts (1852-1922). Robarts was also a co-founder of what later became the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2. The American X-ray Journal, then called the American Journal of Progressive Therapeutics, ceased publication in 1906 2.
