"Dr. Neiman was a visionary. The initiatives undertaken by ACR during his time as CEO undoubtedly enabled dramatic improvements in patient care," said Dr. James A. Brink, vice chair of the American College of Radiology Board of Chancellors, in a statement.

Neiman was instrumental in leading ACR into becoming the recognized medical society that it is today, and he had a long career in radiology. Neiman received the Gold Medal award from both the ACR and the Radiological Society of North America, as well as the Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound, which he helped found and served as a president.
