"We developed simple test tools to optimize imaging parameters. No company was interested in our idea."
Idea

"I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S."
Medical

"I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health."
Health

"Too many radiologists still believe there is a risk from a chest x-ray. Few radiologists can explain radiation to the patient in words the patient can understand."
Risk

"I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field."
Profession

"Many Nobel Prizes are awaiting good research to understand and explain the many mysteries of our bodies, such as the basic mechanism of memory or imagination."
Imagination

"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."
Quality

"I am not unhappy that my contribution was not recognized. I am sure it helped my career."
Career

"I don't display my plaques and honors. They are hidden behind a black curtain in my work room at home."
Home

"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."
