Morgan, the chairman of radiology and the dean of medicine at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.March 28, 2013Nuclear MedicineMoments in Radiology History: Part 12 -- RadioisotopesIn the latest Moments in Radiology History column, historian Otha Linton traces the path of radioisotopes from physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel and the Curies to cyclotrons in California, the first treatments of cancer patients, and World War II and the atomic bomb.February 12, 2013Residents/FellowsMoments in Radiology History: Part 11 -- The 1st residentsThe early years of radiology saw many physicians take up the new discipline with little or no formal training. That soon began to change with the establishment of the first radiology residency program in 1915, which accepted one resident, according to radiology historian Otha Linton.January 13, 20132012Moments in Radiology History: Part 10 -- RSNA show's early daysWhen RSNA held its first meeting in December 1915, the conference attracted 30 of the nascent society's 62 members to a Chicago hotel. Now closing in on its 100-year anniversary, RSNA still meets in Chicago, but it draws 60,000 radiology professionals to what has become the world's largest medical meeting.November 27, 20122012Moments in Radiology History: Part 9 -- RSNA centennialAs RSNA plans to convene its 2012 meeting in just a few weeks, plans are already being laid for the 100-year anniversary of the Chicago congress. In his latest column, radiology historian Otha W. Linton describes how the RSNA rose from humble Midwestern roots to become one of the pre-eminent medical societies in the world.November 4, 2012Thoracic ImagingMoments in Radiology History: Part 8 -- Imaging of black lungIn 1969, the U.S. Congress passed a new piece of legislation on coal mining that called for compensation to miners who had developed pneumoconiosis, or black lung. The new program relied heavily on medical imaging to detect the disease, with radiology playing a major role in the program's implementation.October 14, 2012Radiation Oncology/TherapyMoments in Radiology History: Part 7 -- Early x-ray treatmentsToday, diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology are distinctly separate disciplines -- but things weren't always that way.
