Jovanovi} dolazi iz Pariza gde je bio
asistent Marije Kiri. Dobija zadatak da
nabavi jedan gram radijuma iz Joahimova.
To je rudnik u ^ehoslova~koj, gde su
Kirijevi, pre toliko godina (1898) dobili
jednu tonu prera|ene rude i izdvojili
radijum. Tako su postali velikani i
osvojili ve~nu slavu.
Na{ fizi~ar je doneo jedan gram radijuma,
podelio ga Beogradu, Zagrebu, Qubqani,

In 1927, our great physicist professor
Dragoljub, more known under his nick name
Dragi Jovanovi} arrives from Paris where he
was the assistant to Maria Curie. He was
given a task to provide one gram of radium
from Jachymov. Jachymov was a mine in
Czechoslovakia, wherefrom the Curies, many
years before, (in 1898) obtained one ton of
pitchblende ore from which they isolated
radium, which led this couple to eternity and
glory.
Our physicist brought one gram of radium,
distributed it between Belgrade, Zagreb and
Ljubljana, and Dr Dimitrije Miodragovi} was
the first to apply the radium on the uterine
tumour, in 1932. Later, the second Institute
was founded in the same building the
Institute for radium therapy. These two
Institutes will in 1947, integrate into one,
Radiology Institute of the Medical School.
Immediately after the war, great credit
belongs to Professor Ga|anski and Professor
Aleksandar Simi}, were the first ones in the
field of so called orthovoltage radiotherapy
applying X-ray tube and X-rays, and
Professor Simi} in the field of radium therapy,
or brachytherapy using radium.
