What effects did he have on science today?

Well if it wasn't for Marie,Pierre curie and Wilhelm Rontgen a lot of medical scientist/doctors wouldn't have been able to discover anything like broken bones and fluid that may be around bones. Its not like they would have no way to find broken bones it would just be hard for them to see whats actually wrong like if it is dislocated or just broken or even just sprained.
