Guido Holzknecht was an Austrian pioneer in radiology who made groundbreaking contributions to the field. In 1902, he invented a revolutionary color dosimeter that allowed for precise detection and measurement of X-rays. Tragically, his relentless pursuit of innovation ultimately led to his untimely demise due to radiation poisoning. A lasting tribute to Holzknecht's legacy can be found in Klosterneuburg, Lower Austria, where he called home during his remarkable life.
