American Institute of Physics. Center for History of Physics. Study of Multi-Institutional Collaborations. Phase III: Ground-Based Astronomy, Materials Science, Heavy-Ion and Nuclear Physics, Medical Physics, and Computer-Mediated Collaborations.

A documentation research project to study the complex issues facing the historical documentation of multi-institutional collaborations in physics and allied sciences. Phase III focused on four disciplinary areas of ground-based astronomy, materials science, heavy-ion physics, and medical physics, and a category named computer-mediated collaborations. Angiography Diagnostics was a medical physics collaboration of Stanford University High-Energy Physics Laboratory, Stanford University Medical School (and affiliated hospitals), Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the State University of New York at Stony Brook Medical School to develop a non-invasive technique for imaging coronary arteries. Funding from the Kaiser Foundation, NIH, and DOE. The work began in 1979 and is ongoing.
