eMJA: University Chairs of Radiology

To the Editor: The University of Sydney recently established a Chair of Radiology and appointed Professor Ming Wang as the first full Professor of Radiology in New South Wales. This long overdue appointment resulted from a bequest of Arthur Parker-Hughes, after whom the Chair is named. Likewise, it was largely through the generosity of Edgar John Rouse that the first university department of radiology in Australia was established at the University of Melbourne in 1965; I was appointed Foundation Professor. Considering the role of radiology in modern medicine, it is remarkable that to date in Australia, establishing Chairs of Radiology depends largely on private sponsorship.
