A Philadelphia radiologist predicted here Tuesday that the time may come when medica astronauts will journey to the moon to take pictures of the in-sides of people living on the moon —if it is inhabited.
"If you can send back television pictures of the other side of the moon, then certainly this is conceivable," said Dr. Herbert W. Stauffer, who heads the radiology department at Tern pie university.
Dr. Stauffer made the predic tion between sessions of the 81si annual convention of the Lou isiana State Medical Societs now in session at the Roosevelt.
A featured conventioin speaker, the radiologist also discussed the wondrous electronic gadgets which are presently simplifying the task of modern diagnosis. SEES BETTER X-RAYS
He said gadgets have been developed by the electronic industry during recent years, "which make the fluoroscopic image bright enough so you can see it in a lighted room."
"We can see it better and with less X-ray exposure," he added, "and the patient feels more comfortable in a lighted room."
Dr. Stauffer said the new electronic gadgets make it possible to put the image on television—to take television pictures of the patient's X-rayed in-sides.
"We can make a movie film or we can record it on video tape," he added. "In this waj we can study it at leisure or show it to our medical students."
HIGH SPEED FILMS AID
Dr. Stauffer said by making the films at high speed it's easier to detect certain high speed movements, particularly of the heart. Such movements, he pointed out, are practically impossible to detect with the old fluoroscopic type of examination.
The radiologist said films and video-tapes can be made of human swallowing, of human heartbeats and of other body functions. He told how high-speed X-ray movies are now being used to study the flow of blood out of the heart of experimental animals.
"We simulate a heart attack in these animals, then watch to see how the ability of the heart to accelerate the blood is diminished following the heart attack," tile physician added.
