Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial

Abstract

Since 1927, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has awarded Gold Medals to up to four individuals each year in recognition of their distinguished and extraordinary service to the ACR or to the discipline of radiology (American College of Radiology, n.d. [1]). As of 2019, only 10 of 194 Gold Medalists have been women. In May 2021, Dr. Cheri L. Canon will become the eleventh woman in ACR history to receive this prestigious award. Contemporaneously, in November 2020, she received the highest honor bestowed by the American Association for Women in Radiology (AAWR), the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Award, presented annually to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the advancement of women in radiology or radiation oncology (American Association for Women in Radiology, n.d. [2]). Herein we celebrate Dr. Canon's remarkable life and impressive career achievements, and learn important lessons from her shared wisdom.
