The role of the physicist in a diagnostic radiology department.
A physicist working full-time within a department of diagnostic radiology has found himself concerned with the development of investigative techniques using non-X-ray apparatus, such as thermography, as well as with testing and assessing new X-ray techniques, such as xerography. The scientific training of the physicist enables him to advise and instruct on other research projects. His links with physicists elsewhere are advantageous because of the larger range of specific expertise and available technology. It is thought that the arrangement is successful, should continue, and be tried elsewhere.
