When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics.
- Laboratory

- Nov 07, 2020
I started the nuclear medicine laboratory at UW Hospitals in 1959 and trained radiology residents in the field. It was 1965 before they found a trained MD (doctor) to take over my role.
- Effort

When I entered the field in July 1958 I believed what they told me about radiation risks. I spent much effort reducing the dose to patients in radiology.
- Negative
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In 1970 I realized that there was negligible risk from x-rays but many radiographs had poor image quality so that the risk from a false negative was significant.

We developed simple test tools to optimize imaging parameters. No company was interested in our idea.
- Congenial
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!
- Contribution

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My main frustration is the fear of cancer from low dose radiation, even by radiologists.
- Cases
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In some cases radiation reduces the incidence of cancer.
- Hidden

I don't display my plaques and honors. They are hidden behind a black curtain in my work room at home.
- Patient
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Too many radiologists still believe there is a risk from a chest x-ray. Few radiologists can explain radiation to the patient in words the patient can understand.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.
