I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health. – 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
There are now over 5,000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958. – John Cameron
