AB  - Hal O. Anger, the inventor of the first successful radioisotope camera and numerous other innovations that moved nuclear medicine from a laboratory application to a routine and essential part of clinical practice, died on October 31 at his home in Berkeley, CA. He was 85 years old. In 1998, Newsline writer Eleanore Tapscott talked with Anger and with many of those who were influenced by his innovations. The resulting article is reprinted here in its entirety from the March, 1998, issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine’s Newsline section as a tribute to one of the disciplines most creative and far-thinking founders.
