I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.

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.

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

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

Nuclear physics is interesting but it is unlikely to help society.

I have the satisfaction of knowing I did something useful for society.

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.

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.

It is likely that we need more radiation to improve our longevity.

In some cases radiation reduces the incidence of cancer.
