Since the discovery of the radioactive substances polonium and radium by Marie and Pierre Curie, the importance of this fundamental work has developed an enlarging path through chemistry, physics, and clinical medicine. Whereas the radioactive substances were used for many years in therapeutics, isotopes have been actively used for clinical diagnostic methods for only the past three decades.

Gift of John Martin, M.D.
