Anthony V. Proto, MD, Editor
Index terms: Editorials • Radiology (journal)
It is my pleasure to introduce Jane L. Weissman, MD, who has recently been appointed as another new Deputy Editor for Radiology and thus will become a member of our editorial team. We are fortunate to have Dr Weissman join us, as she has also been an outstanding reviewer for Radiology for the past many years, just as has been our other newly appointed Deputy Editor, Douglas S. Katz, MD (1). Dr Weissman received the Radiology Editor’s Recognition Award with Distinction in 1993 and 1994, followed by 3 consecutive years of that award with Special Distinction in 1995, 1996, and 1997. In 1998, she was appointed an Associate Editor of Radiology in the Head and Neck Imaging section, followed by an appointment as Consultant to the Editor in 2001.
Dr Weissman graduated magna cum laude from Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut) with distinction in the area of major study, psychology. She then earned her MD degree in 1983 from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, NY. After an internship in internal medicine at Mt Sinai Medical Center in New York, NY, she pursued residency training in radiology at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, also in New York. She subsequently spent a year in clinical radiology at the same institution, followed by fellowship training in neuroradiology at the Harvard Teaching Affiliate Hospitals, Boston, Massachusetts. On completion of that training, she spent an additional year as a fellow in head and neck radiology at the Eye and Ear Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pennsylvania. Dr Weissman then became a member of the Department of Radiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, initially as an assistant professor, after which she was promoted to associate professor. During her last 3 years in the Department of Radiology at the University of Pittsburgh, she functioned as director, Head and Neck Imaging. In 1999, she joined the Department of Radiology at Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, where she currently is a tenured professor in both the Department of Radiology and the Department of Otolaryngology, as well as holding the position of director, Head and Neck Imaging in the Department of Radiology.
Dr Weissman has numerous scientific publications to her credit, as well as numerous invited publications. Her list of scientific presentations indicates sustained effort in radiologic research since 1990 at national and international meetings. To her credit are numerous scientific exhibits, visiting professorships, and presented lectures of various types. She has participated in many research projects that have received grant support. Honors she has received include the Jeremia Milbank Fellowship at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Fulbright Fellowship semifinalist, and others. Dr Weissman is certified in diagnostic radiology by the American Board of Radiology and holds additional subspecialty certification in neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology. Her expertise is in neuroradiology, in particular head and neck imaging.
Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Dr Weissman as she joins the masthead of Radiology.
