American Society of Head and Neck Radiology
Presents Gold Medal to Hugh D. Curtin, M.D. during 43^rd Annual Meeting

The American Society of Head and Neck Radiology (ASHNR) presented its 2009 Gold Medal to Dr. Hugh D. Curtin on October 8, 2009, during the ASHNR 43^rd Annual Meeting at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Dr. Hugh D. Curtin was born in Canton, New York.  He attended grade school and high school there before attending the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s College.  He then made a decision to become a physician and attended SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York.  Dr. Curtin next went to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he was first an intern and then a Radiology Resident.  He also took a fellowship in Pediatric Radiology in Sweden and then he was a clinical fellow in radiology with Dr. Vignaud in Paris.

Dr. Curtin joined the radiology faculty in Pittsburgh where he rose to full Professor of Radiology in 1988.  Then about seven years later he moved to Boston in 1995 as the Chief of Radiology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and was soon appointed as full Professor of radiology at the Harvard Medical School.

Dr. Curtin has lectured widely both nationally and internationally almost 350 times and he is well known as an excellent teacher.  In fact, he has received numerous awards for his teaching excellence.  He served as the Head and Neck Editor of the American Journal of Neuroradiology and has served on numerous committees for at least 14 societies, where he has been on the executive committees of many of these societies.  Dr. Curtin is a reviewer for at least 11 major journals and has received awards for the excellence of his reviewing.  He has participated in over 20 exhibits.  Last, but by far not the least, he has authored about 130 peer-reviewed articles and 71 chapters.  Many of these articles are considered sentinel articles as they have influenced the way images are interpreted in head and neck radiology.  He is the co-editor with Dr. Peter M. Som of Head and Neck Imaging, presently in preparation of the fifth edition.

Dr. Curtin has always been a calming resource to his family and colleagues and his good-natured persona has endeared him to all.  He is admired as a scholar and for his numerous contributions to the ASHNR.  Thus, the ASHNR is very proud to present its 2009 Gold Medal to Dr. Hugh D. Curtin, as a symbol of his outstanding achievements in head and neck radiology.
