We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE COUNTING WHOLE BODY RADIOACTIVITY (A Geneva-1964 film). 11 minutes, color. Produced by Donner Laboratory and the USAEC's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the University of California. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, in English, French, Spanish, or Russian, at $29.86 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. English version available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. As sensitive instruments have been developed to measure lower and lower levels of radioactivity within the human body, these instruments have assumed a greater role in medical research and diagnosis. This technical film shows the Donner Laboratory Whole Body Counter, and outlines its program of use, with special reference to studies concerned with the iron metabolism of red blood cells and with calcium turnover in various diseases. DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY WITH RADIATION (A Geneva-1964 film). 32 minutes, color. Produced by USAEC's Argonne National Laboratory. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, in English, French, Spanish, or Russian, at $91.04 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. English version available for loan (free) from USAEC headquarters and field libraries. Cleared for television. The film describes radiation techniques of diagnosis and therapy which have become standard medical tools in the United States. The use of radioactive iodine for thyroid studies is routine, and many other metabolic measurements are common. Development of techniques to study kidney function and blood diseases have been particularly effective. Some clinics are now equipped to prepare and measure labeled gases and extremely short-lived isotopes. Diagnostic radiation levels have been reduced to the same order of magnitude as X-ray studied. By using appropriately labeled materials it is possible to visualize many organs which are difficult or impossible to examine with X-rays. This film describes current techniques of radiation therapy through doses of radioactive chemicals, implanting techniques, and the use of external beams.
