"Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties."
"I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!"
"In 1970 I realized that there was negligible risk from x-rays but many radiographs had poor image quality so that the risk from a false negative was significant."
"I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field."
"The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job."
"If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working with people and communicate well with others, I would strongly encourage them."
"We developed simple test tools to optimize imaging parameters. No company was interested in our idea."
"When I entered the field in July 1958 I believed what they told me about radiation risks. I spent much effort reducing the dose to patients in radiology."
