The Bulletin is intended to provide members with a concise summary of significant decisions and action taken by officers in the exercise of their delegated powers, and details of issues which do not require a decision.

"70th Anniversary of Medical Ultrasound Innovation in Renfrew

 

 

Renfrewshire Council recognises the historic role of the former Babcock & Wilcox site in Renfrew in the development of medical ultrasound.

 

On 21 July 1955, Professor Ian Donald of the University of Glasgow conducted a pioneering experiment at the site using industrial ultrasound equipment to distinguish between cysts and tumours — a breakthrough that laid the foundation for modern diagnostic imaging.

 

Council welcomes plans by Altrad Babcock, Westway, and Novosound to mark the 70th anniversary, and will work with stakeholders to install a commemorative plaque at the original site, celebrating Renfrew’s contribution to global medical innovation."
