‘68 Grad Leads American College of Radiology

Dr. Harvey Neiman leads the ACR’s Board of Chancellors. 

Harvey Neiman, MD, ’68, was elected chair of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Board of Chancellors at the association’s annual meeting in New York last September. With a membership of more than 32,000 radiologists, radiation oncologists and medical physicists, the ACR is a major national professional association. A member of the organization’s Board of Chancellors since 1994, Dr. Neiman previously served as its vice-chair.

Currently associated with the Western Pennsylvania Allegheny Health System and its Western Pennsylvania Hospital, where he chairs the radiology department, Dr. Neiman holds a faculty appointment as professor of radiology at Temple University, as well as a clinical appointment at the University of Pittsburgh. The author or co-author of more than 116 articles in refereed journals, he has also published 25 book chapters and served as primary author of the text, Angiography of Vascular Disease.

Before relocating to Pennsylvania in 1985, Dr. Neiman was professor of radiology and chief of angiography and sectional imaging at Northwestern University in Chicago. He completed his internship at the University of Cincinnati Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, followed by a residency and fellowship at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.

Observing that “principles of care learned at Wayne State School of Medicine” have guided his career as a practitioner and educator, Dr. Neiman recently recalled how his interest in radiology can be traced to an almost fortuitous decision made during his final year at the school. In response to a classmate’s urging, Harvey Neiman “spent several weeks during a term break,” working at Hutzel Hospital under the direction of the widely admired radiologist, John Wolfe.  Dr. Wolfe served on the school’s faculty until the early 1990s.
