Millennium Staffing Inc. celebrates National Radiologic Technology Week November 7-13, 2010. 

National Radiologic Technology Week is an annual celebration that occurs during the 1st full week in November, and is a celebration to honor the discovery of x-ray.  The annual event is recognized in November, and coincides with the Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen’s discovery of x-ray on November 8, 1895 .  NRTW has become an annual recognition and appreciation of Radiologic Technologists across the nation, to celebrate and promote their hard work and important contributions to health care.  Roentgen discovered x-rays in his laboratory, and revolutionized science and medicine as we know it.  He could never have predicted that the art of imaging would be so specifically organized and professed by a group of Radiologic Technologists who take such pride in their career.

 
Wilhelm Roentgen took the very first picture using x-rays using his wife's hand. In 1895 he exposed her hand to x-rays for 15 minutes. Today an x-ray of the hand requires an exposure of about 1/25 to 1/50 of a second.

In 1901, Roentgen received the first Nobel Prize in Physics.

Millennium Staffing Inc. would like to take this opportunity to give a "High Five" to all of it's hard working employees in the radiology field and looks forward to a healthy, robust relationship with you in the coming year.
