Looking into the human body is very essential not only for studying the anatomy and physiology, but also for diagnosing a disease or illness. Doctors always try to visualize an organ or body part in order to study its physiological and anatomical status for understanding and/or treating its illness. This necessity introduced the diagnostic tool called medical imaging. The era of medical imaging started in 1895, when Roentgen discovered the magical powerful invisible rays called X-rays. Gradually the medical imaging introduced X-Ray CT, Gamma Camera, PET, SPECT, MRI, USG. Recently medical imaging field is enriched with comparatively newer tomographic imaging modalities like Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and Photoacaustic Tomography (PAT). The EIT has been extensively researched in different fields of science and engineering due to its several advantages. This chapter will present a brief review on the available medical imaging modalities and focus on the need of an alternating method. EIT will be discussed with its physical and mathematical aspects, potentials, and challenges.

"Croatian Crystallographic Association (under the auspices of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts - CASA) and Croatian Association of Crystallographers (CAC, a legal, non-profit entity), conduct numerous activities to celebrate the IYCr2014 in Croatia. International workshop ""Hot Topics in Contemporary Crystallography"" in Šibenik, held from 10th to 15th of May, 2014, gathered 27 young crystallographers and 6 speakers, the OC chair being A. Višnjevac. Scientific meeting ""Contemporary Crystallography in Croatia"", dealing with the present studies and perspectives, will be held in Zagreb, on September 30th, 2014, with the presentation of 20 papers and participation of more than 50 scientists. Proceedings of the Meeting will be printed and published. English-Croatian Dictionary of Crystallography, Solid State Physics and Materials Science, containing 1650 terms, will be published during 2014 by the Institute of the Croatian Language and Linguistics. The authors are S. Popović, A. Tonejc and M. Mihaljević. A review ""Hundred years of Crystallography"" in the journal Chemistry in Industry was published by B. Kojić-Prodić and K. Molčanov [1]. Another review, ""Chemical Crystallography before X-ray Diffraction"" was published by K. Molčanov and V. Stilinović [2]. The lecture ""IYCr2014 – one hundred years of exploring the world of atoms"" was presented by S. Popović before the CASA in Zagreb, on November 20th, 2013. ""Nikola Tesla, scientist and inventor, and the discovery of X-rays"" was the title of a lecture presented by S. Popović at the Meeting ""The Scientific and Technological Legacy of Nikola Tesla"" organized by the CASA in Zagreb, on December 17th, 2013. CAC is organizing a series of popular lectures on crystallography in professional societies and in secondary schools in Croatia. The newest project is the ""Crystal growing competition"" conducted by E. Meštrović. Finally, CAC is especially proud to organize the ECM29 in Rovinj, Croatia, in August 2015."

Introduction. The interest in Nikola Tesla, a scientist, physicist, engineer and inventor, is constantly growing. In the millennia-long history of human civilization, it is almost impossible to find another person whose life and work has been under so much scrutiny of such a wide range of researchers, medical professionals included. Although Tesla was not primarily dedicated to biomedical research, his work significantly contributed to the development of radiology, and high frequency electrotherapy. This paper deals with the impact of Tesla?s work on the development of a new medical branch - radiology. Nikola Tesla and the Discovery of X-ray radiation. Tesla pioneered the use of X-rays for medical purposes, practically laying the foundations of radiology. Namely, since 1887, Tesla periodically experimented with X-rays, at that time still unknown and unnamed, which he called "shadowgraphs". Moreover, at the end of 1894, he conducted extensive research focusing on X-rays, but unfortunately it was interrupted after the fire burning down his laboratory in 1895. In 1896 and 1897, Tesla published ten papers on the biologic effects of X-ray radiation. All his studies on X-rays were experimental. During 1896 and 1897, Tesla continued improving X-ray devices. Apart from this, Tesla was the first to point out the harmful effects of exposure to X-ray radiation on human body. Conclusion. Nikola Tesla was a visionary genius of the future. Tesla?s pioneer steps, made more than a century ago in the domain of radiology, are still being used today.

Introduction. Shortly after the discovery of X-rays, their practical application in the clinical practice became the object of interest of many non-medical individuals. One of them was the famous Serbian writer, Branislav Nusic. This paper presents the life and work of Branislav Nusic, as well as his article: ?Roentgen?s Photography? which was published in the journal ?Politics? (July 8, 1906; N? 892, p. 3), under the alias Ben Akiba, in the Cyrillic script. The life and work of Branislav Nusic. Alchiviadi Nu?a, later Branislav Nusic (1864 - 1938) was a great Serbian literate, playwright, journalist, photographer, politician, diplomat, member of the Serbian Royal Academy, President of the Association of Yugoslav Playwrights, manager of the theaters in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Skopje and Sarajevo, and a military volunteer in the Serbian - Bulgarian war (1885). ?Roentgen?s Photography?. The author wrote this text in his own way, the only way he could and knew, vividly and wittily. He knew about the great power and strength of X-ray radiation, and he wrote of his knowledge in this short story. Without Branislav Nusic, the history of Serbian radiology would be poorer for not seeing the X-rays by the eyes of an educated, intelligent and, above all, humorous writer. Conclusion. Branislav Nusic, alongside Nikola Tesla, Mihajlo Pupin Idvorski, Dr. Abraham Vinaver, and all past and present Serbian radiologists, has become an essential and memorable link in the chain of the history of the Serbian radiology.

120Th Anniversary

This paper is intended to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the discovery of X-rays. X-rays (Roentgen-rays) were discovered on the 8th of November, 1895 by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. Fifty days after the discovery of X-ray, on December 28, 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen published a paper about the discovery of X-rays - ?On a new kind of rays? (Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen: ?ber eine neue Art von Strahlen. In: Sitzungsberichte der W?rzburger Physik.-Medic.-Gesellschaft. 1895.). Therefore, the date of 28th of December, 1895 was taken as the date of X-rays discovery. This paper describes the work of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, Nikola Tesla, Mihajlo Pupin and Maria Sklodowska-Curie about the nature of X-rays. The fantastic four - Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, Nikola Tesla, Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin and Maria Sklodowska-Curie set the foundation of radiology with their discovery and study of X-rays. Five years after the discovery of X-rays, in 1900, Dr Avram Vinaver had the first X-ray machine installed in Sabac, in Serbia at the time when many developed countries did not have an X-ray machine and thus set the foundation of radiology in Serbia.

Nikola Tesla was an ingenious and briliant scintifist which contributed to the science and technology prosperity of the world. Nikola Tesla discovered high frequency oscillator 1891 year, and afterwards, single electrode X-ray tube without target electrode, electron (?particles charged with electricity?), Bremsstrahlung or ?breaking radiation? or ?very special radiation? (X-radiation) in 1892 year, biological hazards of X-rays, and more about 700 inventions, and 112 patents. Tesla's research work in the field of X-rays was stopped in 1895 because burned in his laboratory. When W. C. R?ntgen 1895, recognition X-rays, Tesla restored his work on this field and sent R?ntgen a telegram with congratilations and R?ntgen shows obtained with X-ray tubes which operated with high frequency currents. Tesla discovered many secret of nature.
