“…Cardiac kymography allowed cardiac motion and pulsations of the great vessels to be recorded (Fig 9) (10). Different pathologic processes would alter motion in different areas, resulting in a variety of pathologic waveforms (Fig 10) (11,12).…”

“…Film was placed behind the sheet, and a prolonged exposure was used. Specific waveforms could be correlated with various portions of the cardiac cycle by using electrokymography (EKG) (12). This technique was ultimately replaced by echocardiography and other advanced cardiac imaging modalities.…”

The field of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology has always been characterized by constant innovation and creativity to evolve to its current form. There are numerous imaging techniques that were once prevalent but have become outdated and were replaced by the current examinations and modalities, which improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Many of these outdated examinations were first described in the journal Radiology during its first 100 years of existence and were subsequently able to be disseminated across its vast readership to become the standard of care across the nation and the world. These earlier techniques, such as pneumoencephalography as it applies to neuroimaging and neurosurgery; kymography, a predecessor of cardiac imaging; contrast agents such as Thorotrast; and miscellaneous cultural tools, such as the shoe-fitting fluoroscope, left lasting impressions on the current practice of radiology and reflect a small subset of the imaging examinations of our predecessors. Knowledge of historic radiologic examinations and procedures is important to understand how we have arrived at the current practice of radiology we embrace today and how our field can continue to evolve to improve our diagnostic and therapeutic abilities to fit the changing needs of our patients.

“…Subsequently, several articles (18)(19)(20) appeared in Radiology from 1937 to 1939 describing roentgen kymographic findings in several myocardial and pericardial diseases, alterations in diseased hearts in response to Valsalva and Mueller respiratory movements, and its use for estimating of cardiac output. It was also explored as a method for estimating in the differential diagnosis of the cause of cardiomegaly.…”

During the past century, cardiac imaging technologies have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of acquired and congenital heart disease. Many important contributions to the field of cardiac imaging were initially reported in Radiology. The field developed from the early stages of cardiac imaging, including the use of coronary x-ray angiography and roentgen kymography, to nowadays the widely used echocardiographic, nuclear medicine, cardiac computed tomographic (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) applications. It is surprising how many of these techniques were not recognized for their potential during their early inception. Some techniques were described in the literature but required many years to enter the clinical arena and presently continue to expand in terms of clinical application. The application of various CT and MR contrast agents for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia is a case in point, as the utility of contrast agents continues to expand the noninvasive characterization of myocardium. The history of cardiac imaging has included a continuous process of advances in our understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, along with advances in imaging technology that continue to the present day.
