Dr. Brodie plans to use radioisotopes in bone, liver and tumor studies. Dr. Halpern will use them in metabolism studies. Mr. Meshbane plans to use radioisotopes in medical therapy. The New Yorkers are among 32 scientists enrolled in the twelfth in a series of one-month courses in radioisotope techniques offered by the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies.
