Frans Jozef Thomas Wackers (born 1939) is a Dutch American clinical cardiologist and research scientist known for his contributions to nuclear cardiology. In 1974, he explored a new way of visualizing heart disease. He pioneered using the radioisotope thallium-201 for heart imaging, which started a new cardiology sub-specialty, later called Nuclear Cardiology. Wackers was the director of the Cardiovascular Nuclear Imaging and Stress Laboratories at Yale School of Medicine for 22 years. In 2008, he became a Professor Emeritus at Yale University. On January 1, 2013, Wackers fully retired from clinical and scientific responsibilities.[1]
