_Radioisotope Applications in Medicine_, 26 minutes, black and white,
sound, 1964. Produced by the Educational Broadcasting Corporation
under the joint direction of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission’s
Divisions of Isotopes Development and Nuclear Education and Training,
and the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. This film traces the
development of the use of radioisotopes and radiation in the field of
medicine from the early work of Hevesy to the present. Descriptions of
the following are given: study of cholesterol and arteriosclerosis;
cobalt labeled vitamin B₁₂ used to study pernicious anemia; history of
iodine radioisotopes and the thyroid; brain tumor localization;
determination of body fluid volumes; red cell lifetime; and use of
radioisotopes for the treatment of various diseases.
_Medicine_, 20 minutes, sound, color, 1957. Produced by the U. S.
Information Agency. Four illustrations of the use of radioactive
materials in diagnosis and therapy are given: exact preoperative
location of brain tumor; scanning and charting of thyroids; cancer
therapy research; and the study of blood diseases and hardening of the
arteries.
