ABSTRACT
El descubrimiento de los rayos X se conoció en Málaga el 2 de marzo de 1896 mediante la prensa local, que recoge además diversas noticias sobre el uso de los rayos X y evidencias del uso literario del descubrimiento de Roentgen por periodistas y escritores de esa época. Entre ellas, destaca la existencia de un periódico administrativo y de intereses generales denominado Los Rayos X. Los primeros equipos de rayos X se instalaron progresivamente en los hospitales de la época, y la primera instalación en un gabinete médico privado data de 1900. En Málaga, la asimilación y evolución del uso diagnóstico y terapéutico de la radiología fue lenta y con peculiaridades determinadas por las circunstancias sociales, económicas y culturales de la época. La presencia de médicos relevantes y con voluntad de superación consiguió elevar la práctica médica a un nivel similar al de otras ciudades de parecidas características
