Re: History of UltrasoundFrom: DuBose, Terry (DuboseTerryJ@uams.edu)Thu Aug 18 16:55:03 2005
Ray, this is wonderful. This is exactly the kind of information that we want to capture in this web site. I do realize that there are tangential stories that are important to the advent of sonographic equipment, but we do need those too. We are all aging now, and the internet allows us to capture and document this history before we are gone. It is important to the profession. You will notice that when discussing some historical facts, I am CCing ultrasound-history@medispecialty.com , this is also a way to document the development of this Historical Web site as well as the profession. But this "Polybiography" is no substitute for stories and images of the past. I am very happy that we "have ignited my fuse." Please let us know what we can do to advance this historical documentation. Thanks, Terry Terry J.

After reviewing the link and the history therein, I started thinking about the diagnostic imaging industry in America and how much all modalities, ie. x-ray, cat scanning, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and mri have common and interlinking roots. The people that pioneered these industries in the U.S. were friends with each other at the time, and frequently used the technology from one modality to improve the next. An example of this is the English company EMI that pioneered cat scanning. Bob Haggland was their first president in the U.S. and before that he was my boss at Nuclear Chicago Corporation, where we built the first gamma scintillation cameras for nuclear medicine imaging. Later Bob worked for me at Unirad. Donald Zahorik was another of my bosses at Nuclear Chicago Corporation. Don later was the President of Unirad Corporation. Another Nuclear Chicago employee was Al Waxman, the man that started Diasonics, the first manufacturer of nuclear magnetic resonance instruments. Al used to date my editor at the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound. I remember when they changed the name to magnetic resonance imaging to stop people thinking that they might glow in the dark from the procedure. Marty Wilcox was the second engineer that I hired at Unirad, and he later invented linear array real time ultrasound scanning. I remember when he spent alot of his time listening to the Denver Stapleton Airport pilot talk on the radio instead of listening to me. Please let me know If you have an interest in this kind of information Terry, or just about Unirad. Hope your not sorry that you have ignited my fuse. Please pass on my thanks to Joan Baker. Ray Elliott

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
