The Alliance, which was formed in 1998, has worked extensively to have the CARE Act introduced into Congress and ultimately passed into law. The National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque, N.M., named Greg Morrison, an executive vice president of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, as a member of its board of trustees. The appointment reflects the goal of the congressionally-chartered museum to expand and update its exhibits to better show the contributions of radiation and nuclear energy to medical science as well as to military applications. Too many people don't respect the contribution radiation has made to the general public. I would like to help the public understand the history of nuclear material use.
Atomic history is just as tied to medicine as it is to the military.
In fact, more than 250 million diagnostic procedures or therapy treatments every year involve some form of radiation. SRU Develops Guidelines for Bleeding After Menopause A consensus panel of gynecologists, radiologists, oncologists and a pathologist, sponsored by the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound, met last month to discuss the dangers of bleeding after menopause. About 25 physicians and representatives of government agencies attended the meeting. Bleeding after menopause is associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer, the most common gynecological cancer. The diagnosis of uterine cancer is commonly found because of abnormal vaginal bleeding after menopause.
