Norbert Pelc, ScD, professor of radiology and bioengineering and, by courtesy, electrical engineering, has been elected to Fellow of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). Dr. Pelc was awarded this honor for his distinguished contributions to the advancement of medical physics knowledge based upon independent original research or development and for his medical physics educational activities, especially in regard to the education and training of medical physicists, medical students, medical residents, and allied health personnel. The director of the Radiological Sciences Laboratory as well as professor of radiology and, by courtesy, of electrical engineering and of psychology, Dr. Gary Glover, commented that "[a] few people make major contributions to one or two diagnostic modalities in their lifetimes; Norbert is remarkable in that he has contributed outstanding achievements in virtually all fields of diagnostic imaging and is thereby internationally known as a thought leader in basic radiological science, education, and research policy at Stanford. We can all be proud of Norbert and delight in this fine recognition of our colleagues lifetime accomplishments." Dr. Pelc will be honored at an awards ceremony and reception at the July 2008 AAPM meeting in Houston, Texas.
