Abstract
In February 1959, the International Atomic Energy Agency sent an expert to Thailand to assist in the development of the medical application of radioisotopes, particularly in diagnosis and clinical research. The IAEA expert was to gave a series of lectures to groups of medical workers in order to provide them with an introductory account of the various applications of radioisotopes in medicine. Work with radioisotopes was already under way at the Radiology Department of Siriraj Hospital, where 15 to 20 patients were referred to the Department each week for tests with radioactive iodine used as a tracer. A number of cases had also been treated with therapeutic doses of radioiodine. The laboratory is well provided with nucleonic equipment and certain additional items of essential equipment were obtained under the IAEA expert's guidance. Certain delays were, however, experienced in obtaining supplies of radioisotopes from abroad because of customs and other import regulations, and the expert regarded the establishment of a simplified procedure. The existing facilities, techniques and organization of work at the laboratory were improved and a new diagnostic procedures was established on a routine basis. For example, the dispensing of routine tracer doses of radioiodine was simplified and reorganized. Again,
