Destouet Voted One of Top 10 Women’s Imaging Specialists in the US

Medical Imaging Industry Top 10

Medical Imaging ’s January 2006 issue announced their First Annual Industry Top 10 awards. Judy Destouet, Chief of Mammography at Advanced Radiology, was voted by her peers as one of the Top 10 Women’s Imaging Specialist’s in the Country. The article follows:

1992, Destouet was recruited to head mammography for Advanced Radiology, which was performing about 25,000 exams each year. In 2005, the center performed more than 115,000 screening mammograms, and countless underinsured women can obtain free mammograms through state and county grants. "As you can imagine," she says, "we have discovered many cancers over the years and played a pivotal role in women's treatment options and, hopefully, their improved survival. The high-quality breast-imaging program that Advanced Radiology has developed serves as a model of efficiency for large screening programs."

Named one of Baltimore's top physicians in 2005 by BaltimoreMagazine," Destouet-who garnered 4.64% of the top 10 votes-is the chairperson for the Mammography Accreditation Program of the American College of Radiology and was the 1994-'95 president of the American Association for Women Radiologists. She also is a consultant to the FDA's Obstetrics-Gynecology Devices Panel and Medical Devices Panel and is a grant reviewer for the National Institute of Health. In 2006 and under Destouet's leadership, Advanced Radiology will transition to digital mammography and continue to expand its breast imaging services.
