\nHISTORY OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE
\nA lecture by Prof. Josef Machac, MDThe emergence of the medical specialty of Nuclear Medicine parallels the Modern Age, beginning with the nearly concurrent discovery of radioactivity and of X-rays at the turn of the 20th century. The discovery and use of radioisotopes revolutionized the practice of medicine as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Dr. Machac’s excellent presentation and lecture – upbeat and with touch of humor,followed the exciting path of discovery leading to today’s methods of diagnostic medical imaging that we all take for granted, such as PET\/CT or SPECT\/CT. Since it happened to be Valentine’s Day, the heart was the frequent subject for demonstrations of imaging technology. It was a lecture that made science fun!Josef Machac, since 1992 a director of Nuclear Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, is professor of radiology and medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York University. His work combines diagnostic imaging, research, teaching and clinical medicine in the Department of Radiology and the Cardiovascular Institute. He has authored or co-authored numerous scientific papers and books. He is also a history buff, an avid life-long beekeeper, and a beer and wine maker.<\/p>\n
