This poster reviews the early origins of the SPR, how it came to be, and who were the leaders who were responsible for its creation. These leaders and “giants” went on to train others who carried on their work and expanded it. Today, most pediatric radiologists can trace their professional genealogy back to one of the original founders of the SPR. As the SPR has grown and developed, it has become more inclusive and diverse. Twelve outstanding women have been presidents of the SPR since 1977. From the original goal of sharing a few cases among friends, it has grown into a mature, scientifically based platform for the creation and dissemination of new and cutting-edge developments in the field of pediatric imaging. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who preceded us; we remain inspired by them; and we carry forward their commitment, wisdom, and dedication to advancing the best practices to enhance children’s health.
