    Otto Walkhoff, a dentist, obtained the first radiograph of the jaw just weeks after Roentgen's discovery.51 A remarkable dentist, C. Edmund Kells used radiography, as well as fitted his dental operatory with electric equipment, compressed air and suction; these items, although improved, are still in use today.52–54 After World War II, Robert Ledley, a dentist and graduate of New York University, New York City, who worked at the precursor to the National Institute of Dental Research, revolutionized how we know what we see.55,56
