University of Cincinnati professor receives Neuroradiology Society's hig...( The American Society of Neuroradiolo...),Health
The American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) recently awarded Robert Lukin, MD, the organization's highest honor: the Gold Medal.
The University of Cincinnati (UC) professor of radiology and former chair accepted the award at the society's annual meeting in New Orleans on June 5, 2008.

As only the third radiology chair at UC, Lukin led the radiology department with what his colleagues called a "calm, strong leadership style" for 15 years. He stepped down as chair in February 2008 to focus on clinical activities. Mary Gaskill-Shipley, MD, currently serves as interim director of the department.
Lukin is credited with strengthening UC's radiology residency program and expanding clinical programs and services. He participated in the training of more than 300 residents and 60 neuroradiology fellows during his career.
"Despite his numerous contributions to the field of neuroradiology, Dr. Lukin takes greatest pride in his clinical practice and education of residents and trainees," says Frank Eggers, MD, a neuroradiologist in Memphis, Tenn., who completed fellowship training under Lukin at UC. "Even a
