On 9 November 2016 a large group of well wishers gathered for the dedication of the Dr. Robert Jackson Pediatric Nuclear Medicine Reporting Room
at the IWK Health Centre. “Dr. J” is considered the face of nuclear
medicine at the IWK, and by extension pediatric nuclear medicine for the
Maritimes. As a pediatric radiologist and nuclear medicine physician,
he was one of only a handful of dedicated pediatric nuclear physicians
in Canada. In 1982 he established the IWK Nuclear Medicine Division, a
2-camera department that did many portable investigations of sick
in-patients in the days before widespread CT and ultrasound
availability. He established most of the protocols for more contemporary
pediatric nuclear medicine studies which are still in use at the IWK
today.
Dr. J was renowned for his diagnostic acumen, and was highly respected
by radiology and clinical colleagues alike. He was also renowned for his
teaching, receiving many teaching awards, providing the pediatric
training for many of our current nuclear medicine physicians, and
impacting the training of countless nuclear medicine technologists over
the years. The dedication of the new pediatric nuclear medicine
reporting room to Dr. Jackson honours all of those accomplishments, and
provides inspiration to those striving to improve the care of sick
children through nuclear medicine for years to come.
