RAMIREZ ARIAS, José Luis. Radiology and image. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2019, vol.62, n.2, pp.7-14.  Epub 16-Out-2020. ISSN 2448-4865.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fm.24484865e.2019.62.2.03.

People say that a picture is worth a thousand words and Dr. Ramírez-Arias has dedicated his life to save up words and he now joins us for a walk along the history of his specialty. He revises those who discovered some radiologic techniques and were awarded with the Nobel Prize. While reading, we visualize an improvement of the tools in radiologic and imageologic techniques. Nowadays the radiologists are extending their views to molecular imagenology which has developed rapidly and that offers to the new physicians a field of opportunities with the possibility to produce new knowledge by doing research besides their work as specialists in image.
