Quotes

If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working with people and communicate well with others, I would strongly encourage them. John Cameron
Many Nobel Prizes are awaiting good research to understand and explain the many mysteries of our bodies, such as the basic mechanism of memory or imagination. John Cameron
John Cameron quote: "I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not..."
I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field. John Cameron
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. John Cameron
John Cameron quote: "I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics..."
I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries. John Cameron
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen! John Cameron
John Cameron quote: "I don't display my plaques and honors. They are hidden behind..."
I don't display my plaques and honors. They are hidden behind a black curtain in my work room at home. John Cameron
John Cameron quote: "There are now over 5,000 medical physicists in the U.S more..."
There are now over 5,000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958. John Cameron
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. John Cameron
The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job. John Cameron
John Cameron quote: "My main frustration is the fear of cancer from low dose..."
My main frustration is the fear of cancer from low dose radiation, even by radiologists. John Cameron
John Cameron quote: "We developed simple test tools to optimize imaging parameters...."
We developed simple test tools to optimize imaging parameters. No company was interested in our idea. John Cameron
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. John Cameron
When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics. John Cameron
When I entered the field in July 1958 I believed what they told me about radiation risks. I spent much effort reducing the dose to patients in radiology. John Cameron
