From the beginnings of medical imaging with radioactivity, an account is given of the development in Aberdeen of Computed Tomography (CT) scanners in Nuclear Medicine, and their clinical value, leading to present-day gamma-cameras. The introduction and clinical use of the cyclotron and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imager in Aberdeen, has led to a national programme for the cancer patients in Scotland. Early animal work with electron magnetic resonance, which developed into a programme towards nuclear magnetic resonance of water, and then to a quest to build the first clinically-useful whole-body MRI, is described. Successful diagnostic images obtained with it have led to the present-day worldwide use of the MRI technique.
从放射性医学成像的起源开始，讲述了阿伯丁核医学计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描仪的发展及其临床价值，直至当今的伽马相机。回旋加速器和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）成像仪在阿伯丁的引入和临床应用，促成了一项针对苏格兰癌症患者的全国性计划。描述了早期关于电子磁共振的动物实验，该实验发展为一项关于水的核磁共振计划，进而发展到打造第一台具有临床实用性的全身磁共振成像（MRI）的探索。用它获得的成功诊断图像促成了MRI技术在当今世界范围内的应用。
