Nixon's lung clot was evidently a small one-only "dime-size," speculated Dr. John Lungren, the ex-President's internist. Lungren and Radiologist Earl K. Dore discovered the clot through two recently refined tests using radioactive isotopes. First they injected human albumen tagged with radioactive iodine-131 or technetium into an arm vein. The radiant particles circulated through the small blood vessels of Nixon's lungs, and a scintillation scanner took an electronic "picture" of their distribution. Nixon's scan showed a blank area on the outer side of the right lung: the clot...
Employing a combination of show business and sleight of hand to charm and relax his patients is routine for Brodeur, 51, who is both a radiologist and an active member of the Society of American Magicians. Aware that a hospital is a bewildering and often frightening place for a sick child, he has been trying, since assuming his position in 1959, to minimize children's fears by making "this place and myself not look Like a hospital...
...destroyed in the event of an atomic attack. Never put into full operation, the clumsy model was later acquired by Dr. John Wolfe of Hutzel Hospital in Detroit, a pioneer in the field of xeroradiography. His work with the machine eventually caught the attention of Dr. John Martin, a radiologist at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston. Martin and several colleagues convinced the Xerox Corp. and the American Cancer Society that the device had great potential for cancer detection. Last year Xerox delivered the first model of the new machine to Martin in Houston...

Such revelations have been surprisingly accurate. In one case, In-111 disclosed a lung tumor six months before it became visible on X rays. In another, the scanner showed a cancer six centimeters wide. From the operating room, the pathologist studying the growth phoned Hunter to say that the radiologist had been wrong-the cancer was only three centimeters wide. Later, he corrected himself; more careful examination revealed a spread of malignant cells through the six-centimeter zone...
