Berkeley Lab's contribution to the development of nuclear medicine began in the 1930s. John Lawrence, brother of the Lab's founder Ernest Lawrence, treated a leukemia patient with a radioactive isotope in 1936. A year later, researcher Joseph Hamilton was the first to use radioactive tracers to study biological processes in the human body and to address the property -- short … [Read more...] about Berkeley Lab – Birthplace of Nuclear Medicine

A technology designed for high-energy physics helped revolutionize medical imaging, thanks to Berkeley Lab's team science model. Physicist Steve Holland developed an ultra-sensitive charge-coupled device (CCD) and photodiode for a new gamma ray detector in a supercollider project. The supercollider project was cancelled, but William Moses, in Berkeley Lab's biosciences area, … [Read more...] about Digirad – From Physics to Physicals
