After a successful run that spanned five decades, the final Impact was published in January 2020.  Impact was UTMB Health’s employee newsletter. It evolved from a one color printed tabloid newspaper to a full color magazine with a digital component. We’ve archived the past several years on these pages for your review and enjoyment.

UTMB Trivia - March

Mar 19, 2018, 19:15 PM by KirstiAnn Clifford

X-Ray machine

In 1895, a German scientist chanced upon a form of radiation capable of “seeing through” most solid objects, rapidly transforming the practice of medicine. The photo to the left is a replica of the first X-ray machine in Texas, made in 1896 by UTMB founding faculty member Dr. Seth Morris. Within months of its completion, Morris and a colleague X-rayed a nurse’s hand and produced the state’s first-ever medical image. Parts of what household machine were used to make this technology possible?
