them more of a personality than is usual
with wax models.
Doctors who examined the girls" were
not told how much mock iodine each model
contained This information was recorded
and kept at the institute, and after meas
urementS were made the results were
checked against the correct figures.
This showed the margin of error and
provided a foundation for Standardization
of measuring technique.
We have not advised doctors to use
any one type or manufacture of radioactive
measuring equipment" researchers explain,
but we are attempting to Standardize the
use of this equipment.
IF techniqueS are standardized, then
the diagnosis of a doctor in California can
be understood to mean the same as a
diagnosis by doctor, say in New York"
But radioactive dolls are only small
part of the vast work in the Medical Divi-
sion, where radio iSotopes are being har-
messed to cure mems ills.
New machines are being devised to
handle more accurately doses of radiation
and radioactive materials. And strides are
being made in overcoming the difficulties
for concentration OF previously admins
tered radioactive materials.
One scanning device in use now trans
ferS on paper the reaction Of the machine
to radioactive materials, thus forming an
accurate picture of the internal organ
where the radioactive materials have
concentrated.
In scanning patients thyroid gland,
for example, this machine can give a
perfect picture of the gland.
Among the most important of the
divisions long-range programs is the con-
tinuing study of total-body irradiation in
acute and subacute leukemia.
In these studies, reserved so far for
patients who have previously had an ade-
quate trial of drug therapy, researchers
hope to learn how to limit through irradia-
ton diseased blood cells and replace them
with normal cells through the introduction
of healthy bone marrow
While many of the patients at the
clinic are those who have abandoned hope,
studies here may in the future light the
spark of hope again for thousands who
are sufferers from cancer

Medical Mannequins
By jim BIRCHFIELD
Star staff Writer


TNHE BEAUTIFUL dolls" of Oak Ridge
Il are becoming known in medical circles
throughout the Nation. In fact they are
helping to bring order out of chaos.
They are lovely. "Half-girlS," they are
called by some, and each has her own per-
sonality, her particular style and hair-do,
and each is rouged and groomed to
perfection.
And, most important, each contains an
artificial thyroid gland, which, in turn,
contains a substance called "mOck-iodine."
This is a mixture of radioactive barium
and cesium, and it acts Like dose of radio
active iodine that has been absorbed by
human thyroid. But it lasts longer, and
that is why it is used in the Oak Ridge
dolls"
As you undoubtedly know by now, the
Oak Ridge dolls" are mannequins, built
to resemble the upper half of the human
body. There were only seven at first, but
their numbers have increased until there
are more than 20. And they are continu-
ally on the go, visiting doctors and clinics
all over the country.
During recent years, the use by phySi-
clans Of radioactive iodine in the diagnosis
of thyroid troubles has increased, and it
was IelC Dy reSearcLleTS al the medical DlVl-
sion of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Studies that the methods of measuring the
uptake of radioactive iodine should be
standardized.
THE methods of measuring radioactive
iodine were in a chaotic state" researchers
point out. Doctors developed their own
techniques, and rarely obtained similar
measurements with the same patient. 1t
was necessary to bring order out of the
chaos"
That was when the idea for the manne-
quins was born. Each mannequin would
contain in her thyroid" known amount
of mock-iodine, and no two mannequins
would contain the same dose. Some would
be normal, some subnormal and some
abnormal
Researchers also felt that the manne-
quins should be. as life-like as possible
This would give physicians the illusion of
examining a real person.
In measuring the thyroid iodine, doc
tors would be forced to use their measuring
apparatus much as they would in exam

Loose Bricks at

About Is bricks on a corner
Of the Washington Hospital
Center have been found to be
"dislocated."
So far, building inspectors
from the General Services Ad-
ministration have been unable
to spot the cause. The condi-
ton is not considered to be

has moved about an inch. But
he emphasized the bricks are
still firmly in place and that
there is no danger of one fall
ing.
Richard M. Loughery, the

he noticed the condition last
summer. The dislocated bricks
make up a vertical section of
the southeast section of the
