At MIR, Dr. Jost was instrumental in designing and building the institute’s radiology information system in 1975— one of the first anywhere at that time. Two years later, Dr. Jost began serving on the American College of Radiology Committee on Computers and in 1980 was a founding member of the Radiology Information System Consortium (RISC), which he later chaired. RISC evolved into the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) and later the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine.
An RSNA member since 1973, Dr. Jost served on the RSNA Board of Directors from 1999 to 2007. His other RSNA appointments included service on the RSNA Research & Education Foundation Board of Trustees from 2005 to 2010.

Dr. Jost has authored more than 120 scientific articles, proceedings and book chapters, many dealing with the use of information technology in diagnostic radiology. A recipient of many honors, Dr. Jost was named an Inaugural Fellow of SCAR in 2000 and received honorary membership in the European Society of Radiology in 2008.
When he took the helm of RadioGraphics in 1990, William W. Olmsted, M.D., was determined to build on the publication’s solid beginnings and make it the premier education journal in diagnostic radiology. When he stepped down as editor at the end of 2011, Dr. Olmsted had not only realized that goal, but also had taken RadioGraphics in exciting new directions that laid the groundwork for future success.
Dr. Olmsted currently serves as a staff radiologist at the Baltimore Veterans Administration Hospital and clinical professor of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore.
Dr. Olmsted began his medical career at Marquette University School of Medicine and the University of Rochester School of Medicine, earning his medical degree in 1968. Dr. Olmsted completed his residency in diagnostic radiology and pursued a neuroradiology fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he also obtained his master’s degree in medical physics during the period when Leo G. Rigler, M.D., was program director.
