More specifically, his work on the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of radiopharmaceuticals that emit low-energy Auger electrons showed that they can be extremely radiotoxic in vivo. Rao Demonstrates In vivo Radiotoxicity of Auger Electron Emitting RadionuclidesĮmeritus Professor Dandamudi Vishnuvardhana Rao is world-renown for his research on dosimetry and radiobiology in nuclear medicine. Martland Archives at the Rutgers George Smith Library Dandamudi V. Martland prepared a permanent exhibit on radioactive dangers and precautions which is on display in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.Īfter forty-five years as Newark City Hospital Pathologist and twenty-five years as Essex County Medical Examiner, Dr. Martland's work with having made it possible for atomic development to proceed with comparative safety. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) credits Dr. Martland determined that minute traces of radioactivity contained in luminous paint had caused the deaths of watch dial painters employed at the US Radium Corporation in Orange, NJ. The work that attracted the most attention was his research begun in 1924, on the effects of radioactive material on the human body. Martland made important contributions in the fields of pathology and forensic medicine. Martland was named Professor of Forensic Medicine at New York University, a post he held for fifteen years.ĭr.
