Posted 1:12 PM, August 29, 2007, by jaruizThank you for your patience and your guesses regarding Dr. X's identity in our previous article, "Former Exorcist Movie Star, Dr. X, Tells All"
(http://radiology.stanford.edu/blog/archives/2007/05/former_exorcist.html).
Yes, it is our own Dr. Barton Lane, chief of neuroradiology at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, California, who played the anonymous role of Regan's radiologist in The Exorcist (1973). Please find more pictures from his movie debut below! You can also view a short clip from his angiography scene by clicking on the following link: http://radiology.stanford.edu/blog_exorcist/.
