Cobalt Teletherapy Unit
Appareil de traitement au cobalt
In 1951 Canadian Scientists, here and in London, Ontario, opened a new front in the battle against Cancer. Through a pioneering partnership, the two teams of physicists, physicians and engineers, working independently yet cooperatively, designed the Saskatoon and the Eldorado {London) cobalt teletherapy units. Both became prototypes for the first commercially available units, then called "Cobalt bombs", which allowed gamma radiation to be focussed directly on cancerous cells. Decades of effective worldwide use have proven the dependability of these units.
En 1951, des chercheurs canadiens firent une véritable percée dans la lutte contre le cancer. Un partenariat innovateur permit à deux équipes multidisciplinaires, ici à Saskatoon et à London, de concevoir des appareils de traitement au cobalt permettant de diriger avec précision les rayons gamma sur les cellules cancéreuses. Ces dispositifs servirent de prototypes au premier appareil mis en marché: la "bombe au cobalt". Utilisée dans le monde entier pendant des décennies, celle-ci a démontré son efficacité dans la lutte contre le cancer.
