Five years after the atomic bomb was tested at Alamogordo, N.M., Army Lt. Col. John H. Rust became the first to disclose to the public the incidence of cancer and other effects of radiation among a herd of cattle that grazed downwind from the blast. He also reassured the nation during the Cold War that cattle subjected to radiation could be safely eaten. Dr. Rust, who held doctorate degrees in veterinary medicine and pharmacology and who once served as director of animal research at the University of Chicago, later investigated the 1978 nuclear accident at Three Mile Island for Illinois officials looking for ways to prevent similar disasters here. He was part of a team of western scientists to visit the Chernobyl site. The American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) is a monthly peer-reviewed journal that covers topics in radiology. It is published by the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) and is based in Leesburg, VA. The initial publication in 1906 was entitled the American Quarterly of Roentgenology, and was officially associated with the ARRS in 1909. In 1913, journal was renamed the American Journal of Roentgenology, and publication frequency was increased to a monthly basis. With the advent of radiation therapy and nuclear medicine under the auspices of radiology, there was a period from 1920 to 1970s during which the ARRS began publishing articles on topics of radiation oncology and nuclear medicine in addition to diagnostic radiology. Accordingly, the journal was renamed the American Journal of Roentgenology, Radium Therapy, and Nuclear Medicine. Finally in 1976, the journal was once again renamed back to American Journal of Roentgenology at which time mandatory peer-review was implemented.
