CHICAGO—Today the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) presented its Special Presidential Award to Hans G. Ringertz, M.D., Ph.D., of Linköping, Sweden. The RSNA reserves the Special Presidential Award for individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of radiology or the radiologic sciences.
During his nearly 50 years in medicine, Dr. Ringertz has worked tirelessly to preserve, defend, expand, and advance radiology.
"Professor Ringertz is the proverbial man for all seasons," said 2010 RSNA President Hedvig Hricak, M.D., Ph.D., Dr. h.c. "He is the pioneer of pediatric MR imaging, a world leader in radiation safety, and he headed one of the most prestigious university radiologic departments in the world. His membership and presidency of the Nobel committee always ensured biomedical imaging a fair review."
Since 2006, Dr. Ringertz has been a professor of radiology at Linköping University Hospital in Linköping, Sweden, and chairman of the board for the university's Centre for Medical Imaging Science and Visualization. He was a professor and chairman of radiology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm from 1984 to 2006 and has served as a professor emeritus since.
