Summary:[...]the study of congenital heart defects tended to be an archival activity, listing everything that can go wrong during the fetal development of the heart. [...]the information obtained by catheterization was of immediate clinical significance and an absolute prerequisite for surgical correction because the imaging techniques available at that time were inadequate as guidance for the surgeon. During his time in Detroit, Richard had the brilliant idea of using positron-emitting isotopes to image the heart and measure coronary blood flow.
