X-rays changed medicine by making the hidden body visible. But the familiar image on a screen is the end point of a much longer history-one shaped not only by famous discoveries, but by the people who learned how to make, use, survive, and control the new ray.

Invisible Rays, Visible Lives follows radiography from the first astonishing experiments of the late nineteenth century through early clinical adoption, radiation injury, wartime imaging, professionalization, safety and measurement, and the transformation from film to digital systems and artificial intelligence. Along the way, it brings attention to the operators, technicians, radiographers, radiologic technologists, nurses, assistants, physicians, and other practitioners whose work turned an experimental phenomenon into an everyday medical service.
