BWhat changed
Combined apparatus, surgical diagnosis and infant/pregnancy imaging sections.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 1896 offprint from the American Journal of the Medical Sciences. Magie, Keen and Davis authored different sections rather than one undifferentiated joint experiment; Röntgen’s discovery, competing first-use claims, later fluoroscopy and radiation safety remain separate.
