Awarded the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Gold Medal in 2018, Dr. Deborah Levine's research, journalism, and mentorship have left an indelible mark on the radiology field. Her work in ultrasound led to its use as the standard for monitoring benign adnexal cysts. She helped popularize obstetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) through her research on its use in placental accreta and fetal abnormalities, which led to the development of the 'Compendium of Fetal MRI' website. This work in research led naturally to a career in journalism, where she eventually became Senior Deputy Editor of Radiology and founded Radiology Select. Concurrently with her personal achievements, Dr. Levine has dedicated herself to the mentorship of her female trainees. She sought various leadership positions to learn more about and advocate for the promotion and support of female leadership in radiology departments. In many ways, Dr. Levine's career and work have transformed radiology as we know it today for both patients and physicians.
