open access
Abstract
Sydney Rowland’s brief life (1872–1917) is described with emphasis on his contribution to radiology in the first two years following the discovery of X-rays. Not only was he the first editor of the Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy but was also appointed Special Commissioner to the British Medical Journal with a remit to write a report on the application of X-rays in medicine and surgery. He was to cease his studies with X-rays in 1897 to become a microbiologist. Working in the Royal Army Medical Corps in World War I, he died of cerebrospinal fever age only 45 years, in France in 1917.
