Józef Rotblat, a nuclear physicist born and educated in Poland, is the only laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize, who made a significant contribution to the development of nuclear medicine. In 1948 he went down in the annals of nuclear medicine by obtaining, with extarnal measurements, the first "image " of a function of an internal organ - thyroid gland, by registering gamma rays with a collimated Geiger counter at many points of the patient's neck and chest. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Rotblat in 1995 for organizing, together with the a British philosopher Bertrand Russell, the international, peaceful movement of scholars for the eradication of weapons of mass destruction (Pugwash) and multi-annual activity in this movement.
约瑟夫·罗特布拉特是一位在波兰出生并接受教育的核物理学家，他是诺贝尔和平奖唯一一位对核医学发展做出重大贡献的获得者。1948年，他在核医学史上留下了浓墨重彩的一笔，通过外部测量，利用准直盖革计数器在患者颈部和胸部的多个点记录伽马射线，获得了第一个内脏器官——甲状腺功能的“图像”。1995年，他因与英国哲学家伯特兰·罗素共同组织国际学者和平运动以消除大规模杀伤性武器（帕格沃什运动）以及在该运动中的多年活动而被授予诺贝尔和平奖。
