Abstract

On March 2, 1896, the local press in Malaga reported the discovery of X-rays, relating various news items about the use of X-rays and literature about Roentgen’s discovery by journalists and other authors. Outstanding among these writings was a periodical directed at the administration and general public called Los Rayos X. Progressively, the first X-ray machines were installed in hospitals during this period, and the first installation in a private medical clinic took place in 1900. In Malaga, the assimilation and progression of the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radiology was slow and affected by peculiarities owing to the social, economic, and cultural circumstances of the period. Influential physicians willing to overcome resistance to advances were able to bring medical practice in Malaga to a level similar to that of other cities.

Resumen

El descubrimiento de los rayos X se conoció en Málaga el 2 de marzo de 1896 mediante la prensa local, que recoge además diversas noticias sobre el uso de los rayos X y evidencias del uso literario del descubrimiento de Roentgen por periodistas y escritores de esa época. Entre ellas, destaca la existencia de un periódico administrativo y de intereses generales denominado Los Rayos X. Los primeros equipos de rayos X se instalaron progresivamente en los hospitales de la época, y la primera instalación en un gabinete médico privado data de 1900. En Málaga, la asimilación y evolución del uso diagnóstico y terapéutico de la radiología fue lenta y con peculiaridades determinadas por las circunstancias sociales, económicas y culturales de la época. La presencia de médicos relevantes y con voluntad de superación consiguió elevar la práctica médica a un nivel similar al de otras ciudades de parecidas características.
