2013 AIUM Award WinnersJoseph H. Holmes Clinical Pioneer AwardThe Pioneer Award, which honors an individual who has significantly contributed to the growth and development of medicalultrasound, was established in 1977. This special award was renamed in 1982 to honor Joseph H. Holmes, MD, whodied that year. Dr Holmes, the first person named as an AIUM pioneer, was an important figure to both the field of diagnosticultrasound and the AIUM. His early efforts in ultrasound research, which included tissue characterization andultrasound’s diagnostic use in polycystic kidney disease and orthopedics, helped advance the field of ultrasound andencourage others to conduct new research. Serving the AIUM in many capacities, Dr Holmes was president from 1968 to1970 and was editor of the AIUM’s official journal, which was then titled the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, for nearly 10years. Each year, the Joseph H. Holmes Pioneer Award honors 2 current or retired AIUM members, 1 in clinical science and1 in basic science.Peter H. Arger, MDIf we were to include only thecontributions he made while presidentof the American Institute ofUltrasound in Medicine (AIUM),Peter H. Arger, MD, would still bethe perfectly chosen recipient forthis award. During his tenure aspresident of the AIUM (1995–1997),Dr Arger oversaw changes andimprovements to this organizationand to the field of medical ultrasoundthat resonate to this day. Recognizing the enormouspotential for ultrasound in medicine but also aware thatfunding for research was limited, he spearheaded the establishmentof what is now the AIUM’s Endowment forEducation and Research, which has already allocated close tothree-quarters of a million dollars to ultrasound research andeducational endeavors. Dr Arger was also instrumental in thecreation of the AIUM’s ultrasound practice accreditation program.The 2000+ practices that have subsequently receivedaccreditation have demonstrated their commitment to thehighest quality patient care—a tribute to Dr Arger’s foresightand vision.While he was president, the AIUM held an innovativeleadership retreat to initiate a 5-year plan; built coalitionsand established liaisons with 27 ultrasound-related associationsto ensure the ability to take a proactive stance on legislationand to promote the best practices in diagnostic ultrasound,established the Distinguished Sonographer Award aswell as the New Investigator Award, conducted a conferencein which simultaneous Spanish translation was available,obtained a seat on the American Medical Association Houseof Delegates, and analyzed the entire operation of the Journalof Ultrasound in Medicine. That is just the tip of the icebergregarding the initiatives occurring under his leadership anddoesn’t begin to address his contributions to the AIUM bothbefore and after his tenure as president, through his hard workon almost every AIUM committee in existence. He undertookall these activities while serving as professor of radiology at theHospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he is nowemeritus professor of radiology and concentrating on ultrasoundresearch and ultrasound training for residents.A graduate of Washington University in St Louis andthe University of Illinois Medical School, Dr Arger was a captainin the US Air Force before beginning his long history of awardsfor his research and his service to imaging associations, startingwith a certificate of merit for “An Approach to Orbital Lesions”from the American Roentgen Ray Society more than 30 yearsago to his most recent honor in 2011—the Gold MedallionAward—from the Pennsylvania Radiological Society.His many awards are a testament to his ongoingcommitment to imaging. He has served as principal investigatoron multiple major grants that addressed an enormouslybroad range of issues, such as mercury burden in dentists,staging of ovarian cancer, methods of giving contrast agents,evaluation of renal failure, and Doppler vascularity in breastcancer diagnosis. A well-published author with hundreds oforiginal papers to his credit, as well as abstracts, books,reviews, and chapters, Dr Arger’s passion for education is furthermanifested by the countless presentations he has givenand the outstanding courses he has directed.It’s not surprising that these incredible achievementswere completed by an exceptional clinician, what isremarkable is that they were completed by such a kind, softspoken,self-effacing human being who has earned the highestrespect and admiration from his colleagues, his students,his superiors, his subordinates, and association staff. He istruly the inveterate clinical pioneer.v
2013 AIUM Award WinnersDistinguished Sonographer AwardEstablished in 1997, the Distinguished Sonographer Award is a means of recognizing and honoring current or retiredAIUM members who have significantly contributed to the growth and development of medical ultrasound. This annualpresentation honors an individual whose outstanding contributions to the development of medical ultrasound warrantspecial merit.Marsha Neumyer, BS, RVTThe title “distinguished sonographer”does not do justice to the 2013awardee, Marsha Neumyer, BS, RVT.Currently chief executive officer andinternational director of VascularDiagnostic Educational Services,Ms Neumyer previously was anassistant professor of surgery at thePennsylvania State University Collegeof Medicine and director of thevascular laboratory section of thePennsylvania State Vascular Institute.Ms Neumyer earned her bachelor’s degree in zoologyfrom the Pennsylvania State University and spent the next2 decades involved in research, starting with the BovineLymphosarcoma and Leukemia Research Team and NewcastleVirus Disease Research. She then founded and served as thedirector of the Diagnostic Laboratory and Tissue Culture CellBank, followed by a stint as the director of the Camp HillVeterinary Laboratory and as a senior research technician atthe Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.In 1985, her commitment to vascular imagingwould firmly take hold with her certification as a registeredvascular technologist. It comes as no surprise that this is afield in which she would excel and for which she has receivedmultiple awards, including the Award for Excellence inScientific Research (twice) from what is now the Society forVascular Ultrasound (SVU), the Distinguished Service Awardfrom the Society of Vascular Technology (SVT), the BurnhamEditor’s Award for outstanding contributions to the field ofvascular technology, the J. Baker Pioneer Award in MedicalSonography from the Society of Diagnostic MedicalSonography (SDMS), and the SVU Professional AchievementAward.A fellow of the AIUM, the SDMS, and the SVT, MsNeumyer has served admirably in leadership roles for these3 organizations, as a member of the Board of Governors, theBoard of Directors, and president, respectively. In addition,she has demonstrated her belief in the importance of vascularimaging excellence by her active involvement in numerouscommittees addressing issues of education, training, bioeffects,risk management, and practice guidelines.A founding member of what is now the IntersocietalAccreditation Commission, Ms Neumyer has been the editorof the Journal of Color Flow Imaging and guest editor of theJournal for Vascular Technology multiple times. She serves onthe editorial boards of the Journal of Vascular Ultrasound andthe Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography and is a reviewerfor the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, the Journal ofClinical Ultrasound, and the Journal of Diagnostic MedicalSonography.Her editorial responsibilities are a direct reflectionof her prolific output as an author through publications, bookchapters, books, abstracts, posters, and videos, CDs, andDVDs. But it is in lectures and presentations where her outstandingtalents shine through. With her close to 900 presentations,Ms Neumyer has made Herculean efforts to educateusers and promote exceptional and safe vascular imaging.She is truly a clinician who should be emulated.vi
