In the world of medicine there are a number of tools and equipment that doctors use all of the time to help diagnose and treat patients. Have you ever stopped to wonder how those tools came about or who invented them? Have you ever considered the fact that a medical instrument is just that, an instrument that may or may not be able to do the job right. Have wondered if your doctor was using the right instrument for the job he was doing?Think for a minute how some of us, when we need a hammer and there is not one right there, but there is a shoe will use the shoe as a hammer. That is not the right tool for the job, but we use it because it is conveniently close. Do you think that your doctor ever does that? Would not be a pretty thing would it? Among the instruments that a doctor can use is a piece of equipment called a gamma camera. The gamma camera, sometimes called the Anger camera named after its inventor Hal Anger, was invented back in the early 1950's and is still around today, in 2010, nearly seventy years later.

In fact, these two questions are best tackled together as it is the way LED works which makes it ideally suited for these applications.If you take a close look at your current TV, whatever technology it utilises, you will see the pixels which compose the picture. In an LED screen, the picture is composed by a number of primary-coloured LEDs in a cluster which illuminate at the required intensity to compose their section of the picture. Imagine this over the entirety of the large screen, and it's easy to see how LED technology is better suited to displays in the day time - LED's are much brighter than CRT, LED or plasma screens tend to be, and consequently will be clearer in bright light than the alternatives.The portability afforded by LED technology also makes it...more
