Scope and Content of Collection

Papers of Norman Arthur Baily (1915-1992), medical physicist, who devoted his career to radiological physics and engineering, focusing on medical imaging, experimental and theoretical work in dosimetry, and therapeutic uses of radiology. The collection includes memos and correspondence relating to medical physics organizations and Baily's editorial work for Medical Physics, lecture notes for his teaching at UC San Diego, and drafts and reprints. There is little documentation of Baily's work at Columbia and Emory universities, of his military employment with NASA and Hughes Aircraft, or of his involvement in the Medical Physics Program at UCLA (1952-1967). The collection does provide thorough documentation of Baily's career at UC San Diego, beginning in 1968 when he accepted the position of Professor of Radiology and Chief of Radiological Physics and Engineering at the UCSD School of Medicine.
Arranged in six series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL, 2) CORRESPONDENCE, 3) WRITINGS AND RESEARCH, 4) TEACHING, 5) ORGANIZATIONS, and 6) CONSULTING.

Biography

Norman Arthur Baily (1915-1992), was born in New York. He completed a B.A. in science at St. John's University in 1941, an M.A. in education at New York University in 1943, and a Ph.D. in physics at Columbia University in 1952. Baily devoted his career to radiological physics and engineering. He was recognized as having made equally strong contributions to research, teaching, and the medical physics profession. His research focused on the use of diagnostic tools for obtaining images of organs and their functions, particularly those using ultrasound which avoided the use of ionizing radiation, and for improving the safety of techniques that did require ionizing radiation.
His first academic appointment was at the University of Buffalo where he was an associate of the Radiology Department (1954-1959) and assistant research professor of biophysics (1957-1959). He was also chief physicist and principal cancer research scientist in the Radiation Therapy Department of Buffalo's Roswell Park Memorial Institute (1954-1995). In addition, Baily was lecturer in the Chemistry Department at Canisius College during this same period (1957-1995).
He left Buffalo for Los Angeles to become manager of the Space Sciences Department, Hughes Research Laboratories (1959-1967), becoming concurrently employed from 1964-1968 in UCLA's Radiology Department as clinical professor and professor-in-residence. He spent 1967 at Emory University as professor of physics and radiology.
In 1968, Baily came to UCSD and served as Professor of Radiology and Chief of the Division of Radiological Physics and Engineering until 1988 when he retired with the distinction of emeritus professor. His research was supported by grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (1968-1973; 1973-1975), the Atomic Energy Commission (1974-1975), and the National Institutes of Health (1975-1978). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Baily held several visiting professorships of nuclear research and oncology.
Baily made considerable contributions to the professional community of medical physics, most notably by his participation in the American College of Radiology and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), to which he was elected a fellow in 1988. He helped found the AAPM's Southern California Chapter and was acknowledged for his contributions in 1986 with the creation of the Norman A. Baily Student Research Award. Perhaps more profound and far reaching were his efforts in establishing standards for state licensing of medical physicists, the development of quality assurance for use of radiological equipment, and the training of medical physicists.
Baily was an associate editor of Medical Physics from its inception in 1976 until his death. He served on at least 70 committees related to both education and safety in radiation physics. He published more than 200 articles on nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, and diagnostic imaging between 1947 and 1992.

ORGANIZATIONS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 5) ORGANIZATIONS: Arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization. Baily played an active role in both national and international professional societies. Highlights of his involvement include documentation of his work with The American College of Radiology, including attending its conferences and serving on committees sponsored by the ACR to investigate such topics as the "ACR Position on the Chernobyl Incident, 1986" and "Proposed Patient Exposure Average" at a Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors. Baily was actively involved in the American Association of Physicists in Medicine and became a staunch supporter of the Southern California Chapter of the AAPM. Included in this material are original meeting minutes from the first meeting by the SCC-AAPM, as well as a copy of rough drafts of the SCC constitution and by-laws. There is also extensive documentation, including correspondence, published announcements, lists of speakers, and notes pertaining to the annual SCC AAPM Spring Seminars (1986-1990), which Baily was responsible for organizing.

CONSULTING

Scope and Content of Series

Series 6) CONSULTING: Baily acted as a medical expert witness for medical and legal cases. Materials in this series include correspondence, medical briefs, and court case pleadings. Arranged alphabetically by folder title, this series also includes documentation entitled "State Licensure" which discusses Baily's involvement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to pass laws that would require medical use licensees to establish and implement a basic quality assurance program. Baily worked on gathering support for the licensure of medical physicists in the State of California. The Quality Assurance material focuses on establishing radiation level standards / guidelines for hospitals, clinics, medical centers, and the medical equipment found within these institutions, as well as lecture notes for courses teaching methods of quality assurance.
