  Swischuk honored with four gold medals for contributions to pediatric radiology
  
  GALVESTON, Texas â€" Pediatric radiology wouldn't be the same if Dr. Leonard E. Swischuk had chosen a different field.Chairman of the Department of Radiology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Swischuk is the recipient of four gold medals in the past 12 months honoring his contributions to pediatric radiology, including the Gold Medal for Distinguished Service from the American Roentgen Ray Society, which he'll receive this month.
  
  Over a career spanning 40 years, Swischuk has written six books, including two textbooks used throughout the world, contributed chapters to 18 books, published 239 peer-reviewed articles and, since 1986, has written a quarterly column on radiology for Pediatric Emergency Care.
  
  In addition to the medal from the ARRS, Swischuk received gold medals from the Texas Radiological Society (April, 2006), the Brazilian College of Radiology at the Latin American Society of Pediatric Radiology (October) and the Society of Pediatric Radiology (April).
  
  A fixture at UTMB since 1970, some of Swischuk's contributions to radiology flew in the face of conventional wisdom, particularly his textbook Radiology of the Newborn and Young Infant.
  ...
  Swischuk was attracted to pediatric radiology during his residency in Oklahoma, which began in 1963.But that's not because the field was a hotbed of forward thinking."Pediatric radiology was a dull specialty," he says."But I quickly realized there was room for new thinking."
  
  Swischuk found kindred spirits when he moved to UTMB in 1970."There was room and support to fly free," he said.
  
  Though he will soon step down as departmental chair, Swischuk vows, "I'll never retire.

  Leonard Swischuk, MD, acting chairman of the radiology department at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston, decided to usher the radiology department into the 21st century in 1998 by embarking on a five-year project to create a fully digitized imaging facility.The transition would mean an enormous economic savings for the hospital, while also virtually eliminating film loss and providing real-time communication between referring physicians and patients.
  
  Today, with nearly $10 million dollars invested, the project is more than 99 percent complete, but Dr. Swischuk and Raul Reyes, RT(R), director of radiology services at UMTB, admit the transformation encountered its share of bumps along the road.
  ...
  Dr. Swischuk and Reyes agree.
  ...
  Piece-by-piece, Dr. Swischuk and his team began rolling out changes in areas where the introduction of digital technology would produce the least amount of difficulty and the greatest positive impact.They began in the ER non-trauma and in an outlying outpatient clinic and used the success stories to generate positive PR, Dr. Swischuk says.
  ...
  One of the most important steps to take during such a transformation process is to appoint leaders who'll cast the vision for a filmless future, Dr. Swischuk says.
  ...
  "You have to appoint a person who'll have the vision and the ability to get rid of impediments, which basically are individuals who are unwilling to change their modus operandi," Dr. Swischuk says.
