...arti est of arty photographers. In his darkened studio, the temperature has to be just right-a steady 68° to 72°. He insists that subjects stretch out and relax for 15 minutes before the first picture is snapped. But Dr. Gershon-Cohen, a radiologist at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, is the extremely careful scientist, not the temperamental artist. Borrowing a technique space researchers use to take temperature readings of Venus, he photographs the human body's surface heat with a novel infra-red camera...
With the lower colon inactivated, surgeons removed the cancer. Apparently it had not spread. As a further precaution, Radiologist Orville Meland of the Los Angeles Tumor Institute implanted platinum needles containing tiny radium pellets. "For the next six months we simply waited," Powell recalls. "I had a lot of examinations but led a reasonably normal life. I did quite a few radio shows, though I couldn't make movies. The worst thing about the situation was the esthetics...
Died. Friedrich Joseph Dessauer, 81, pioneering West German radiologist and Roman Catholic author (Religion in the Light of Contemporary Science), who built the first device capable of taking multiple X-ray photographs of the human heart beating, and was one of the first to discover radiation's therapeutic value in the treatment of tumors; of radiation poisoning (a toxic dose, which he absorbed in his 20s, continued to poison his body until it finally caused his death); in Frankfurt...
...psychiatrist could look inside his patients' skulls at will, he would rarely expect to see anything that would help him in treating their mental ills. Yet a radiologist urged last week that X rays be made routinely of the skulls of patients admitted to mental hospitals. His point: psychiatrists and other doctors might be surprised at what they find...
Also indirect but far more puzzling was a surprising finding by Radiologist Kraft. Patients who had never before been in a mental hospital were divided into two groups, psychotic and nonpsychotic. Among the psychotics were no fewer than 46% with evidence of enlarged pituitary glands, as against only 21% of the non-psychotics. This finding tells nothing yet about the origin or probable course of the patients' illnesses, Dr. Kraft emphasized. But the obvious next step is to examine the hormone balance of the mental patients, correct it if necessary, then see whether this makes psychiatric treatment more effective...
