In Memoriam: Joel Edward Gray, MD
Pioneering medical physicist and imaging quality expert Joel Edward Gray, PhD, died on April 23 in Milwaukee. He was 82.
After serving in the United States Air Force from 1963 to 1967, Dr. Gray earned degrees in photographic science and engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. He completed his Master of Science in optical sciences at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1974 and obtained a doctorate in radiological sciences from the University of Toronto in 1977. He began his career as a medical physicist in the Department of Radiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, ME in 1977.
A prolific scholar, Dr. Gray authored more than 175 peer-reviewed publications and the influential textbook Quality Control in Diagnostic Imaging. He was a trusted advisor to national and international organizations, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Dr. Gray was deeply engaged with RSNA throughout his career, serving on several committees, including the Daily Bulletin Editorial Board and as RSNA annual meeting faculty.
