Once called the “unclear medicine,” nuclear Invented by Hal O. Anger in the mid-1950s, nuclear medicine medicine was forever changed with the introduction of cameras detect gamma radiation to depict metabolic Hawkeye, the world’s first clinical hybrid imaging system. processes within a living body. While gamma cameras helped GE Healthcare (at that time known as GE Medical Systems) revolutionize the field of functional medical imaging, there was introduced Hawkeye, a dual-modality SPECT and CT system, at one key limitation: the lack of anatomical markers in the image. the 1999 Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) Annual Meeting, heralding in a new era of “more clear medicine.” “We always understood that we needed anatomical and structural data to provide the best details and a precise answer to the clinical question,” says Ora Israel, MD, Director Emeritus of Nuclear Medicine/PET (retired) at Rambam Healthcare Campus, Haifa, Israel. She recalls using fiducial markers placed on the patient’s body to identify the location of key anatomical areas, such as the chest or abdomen. In some cases, Professor Israel and her colleagues would try to repeat the nuclear medicine study on a CT with the patient in the same position. It was a difficult and time-consuming process that she says never really worked well. “There was a clear purpose to improve the specificity of nuclear medicine by defining the anatomical relationship between isotope imaging and anatomy,” says Martin Sandler, MD, Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and formerly Chairman of the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

Case Histories of Significant Medical Advances Development of Computed Tomography Amar Bhidé, Harvard Business School Srikant Datar, Harvard Business School Katherine Stebbins, Harvard Business School Abstract: We describe how Computed Tomography (CT) scanners - that combine x-rays and computers to image soft tissues of the brain and other organs -- have become a widely used diagnostic tool. Specifically, we chronicle the: 1) the initial development of CT technology and markets (in the 1960s and 1970s); 2) Broadening of uses and users (in the 1980s); and 3) introduction and adoption of combination scanners (in the 1990s). Note: This case history, like the others in this series, is included in a list compiled by Victor Fuchs and Harold Sox (2001) of technologies produced (or significantly advanced) between 1975 and 2000 that internists in the United States said had had a major impact on patient care. The case histories focus on advances in the 20th century (i.e., before this millennium) in the United States, Europe, and Japan -- to the degree information was available to the researchers.
