DR. MICHAEL A.
WAINSTOCK, 94, of
West Bloomfield, died
July 31, 2010.
He was a prominent
physician, inventor
and teacher and was a
pioneer in the field of
Wainstock
diagnostic ultrasound.
c. 1965
He was the first to bring
ultrasound for opthalmology use to the
U.S. after being introduced to it at the
Allegemeines Krankenhaus in Vienna,
Austria, in 1965. Dr. Wainstock received
the Smithsonian Institute's Pioneer Award

for his groundbreaking work in this area.
He had a prolific career, won many scien-
tific awards, and published three books
and 70 articles on the advancement of
ophthalmology.
Dr. Wainstock was born in 1916 in
Minneapolis and received his medical and
microbiology degrees from the University
of Minnesota. He attended residency pro-
grams from the University of Michigan

Department of Opthalmology. He also
founded ultrasound programs at Kresge
Eye Institute at Wayne State University
and at Beaumont and Henry Ford hospi-
tals in Detroit.
While a faculty member at University
of Michigan, he designed, in collaboration
with the Department of Engineering, an
ultrasonic guided gamma probe, an instru-
ment that can detect malignant melanomas
and other clinical conditions without inva-
sive surgery. He also invented a specialized
silicon contact lens that, combined with

ultrasound and x-ray, allowed for the pin-
point localization of foreign bodies in the
eyes. Dr. Wainstock was a visiting professor
at Harvard and established its first diagnos-
tic ultrasound lab.
He was a member of the FDA Panel on
