Abstract
This reprint of an article that first appeared in Nucleonics in 1966 p rovides a unique perspective of the introduction of the cyclotron into clinical medicine and medical research. The cyclotron offers a potent ially powerful tool to biomedical centers. With this accelerator one c an produce a variety of short-lived nuclides that are unavailable from other sources.
