A Joint Meeting with the Royal Medical Society

A Personal Voyage through the First Forty Years of Medical Imaging

Prof John Mallard
Professor Emeritus of Medical Physics, University of Aberdeen

at the Royal Medical Society's Rooms, Student Centre, 5/5 Bristo Square, Edinburgh 8
on Monday 11th November 1996 at 7pm

Professor Mallard became a hospital physicist in 1951, just as radioactivity was introduced into clinical work. He played a part in the development of medical imaging with radioactivity, now called Nuclear medicine; and this led to his pioneer advance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is now a major part of modern radiology. This Lecture will show this evolution.
