Dr. Erik Paulson was affirmed as president of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) during the opening ceremony of the society's annual meeting in Honolulu, HI.
Paulson is chair of radiology at Duke University in Durham, NC, and will serve for the 2023-2024 term. He succeeds Dr. Gary Whitman.
A national leader in abdominal imaging, Paulson's expertise in hepatobiliary and pancreatic imaging has significantly impacted the way these diseases are evaluated, ARRS said in a news release. He is considered a pioneer in the development of CT colonography and recently implemented dual-energy CT and enhanced ongoing efforts to reduce radiation dose in CT. He presently sits on both ARRS' Executive Council and the board of trustees for the Roentgen Fund.
Joining Paulson as newly elected ARRS officers for 2023 to 2024 are Dr. Angelisa Paladin, president-elect; Dr. Deborah Baumgarten, vice president; and Dr. Christine Glastonbury, secretary-treasurer.
