Radiologic history exhibit. 1934: fateful year in the history of African-Americans in radiology.
Oestreich AE.
Department of Radiology, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 45229-3039, USA.
Radiographics. 1995 Jul;15(4):1013-20
The year 1934, just over a third of the way into the first century of the x ray and of the NMA, reflected both successes and difficulties for the minority radiologist. African-Americans constituted disproportionately small numbers within the radiologic community (Fig 9), and few of them were on the AMA's approved list. Membership in major radiologic societies was lacking; many were excluded from applying for the new American Board of Radiology examination. On the other hand, the major radiology journals began to publish articles by African-American authors, a select few radiologists were on the AMA specialist list, and the first steps to board certification were appearing.
