Kettering expert Dr Jeremias Andrews unveils a half million dollar x ray scanner that shapes a new brain imaging era. The device, a cylindrical machine resembling sci fi gear, rotates around the head guiding radiation through brain tissue to build detailed computer analyzed images.
A physician explains the CAT scanner as a dramatic imaging breakthrough that shows brain tumors and clots directly with a donut shaped machine. The piece notes cost, hospital funding struggles, and a case where a teen, Brenda Logan, died after a risky pre CAT procedure and prompted a charitable fund to buy one for Dayton hospitals.
