Description
This
Anger
Scintillation
Camera
was the
first
commercially-produced
scintillation
camera
, and
it
was
made-to-order
by
William
G
.
Myers
in
1960
.
It
arrived
at
Ohio
State
University
Hospitals
in
Columbus
in
September
1962
.
Myers
was
associated
with the
camera's
inventor
,
Hal
Anger
of
Donner
Lab
,
Berkeley
. The
camera
,
built
by the
Nuclear-Chicago
company
,
now
resides
in the
Smithsonian
. The
camera
used
gamma
rays
to
trace
emissions
from
radioactive
substances
that were
injected
into the
body
. The
photographs
showed
where
radioactive
substances
collected
and
traced
the
substances
as they
traveled
through
the
body
. This
brought
about
an
explosion
in
new
measurement
technology
. The
photograph
measures
5
"
x

"
(12.70
x
17.78

William
G
.
Myers
,
M.D.
,
Ph.D
.
(1908-1988)
was
born
in
Toledo
,
Ohio
and
studied
chemistry
and
medicine
at The
Ohio
State
University
. He
went
on to
conduct
research
and
teach
as a
faculty
member
at The
Ohio
State
University
. In
1946
, he was a
radiologic
safety
monitor
for the
two
atomic
bomb
tests
at
Bikini
atoll
.
It
was
during
this
time
that he
began
to
think
about
how
nuclear
energy
could
be
used
in
medicine
to
save
lives
. He
introduced
a
number
of
radioactive
isotopes
used
in the
detection
and
treatment
of
cancer
and
other
diseases
,
more
than any
other
individual
in the
history
of
nuclear
medicine
.
