Cheryl DuBose, Ed.D., R.T.(R)(CT)(MR)(QM)(ARRT), and David C. Madoff, M.D., FSIR, FACR, FCIRSE, have been appointed to four-year terms on the Board of Trustees of The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). The two will fill positions vacated by Ann Obergfell, J.D., R.T.(R)(ARRT), and Kenneth Chin, M.D., FACR, who each completed two four-year terms on the Board, the maximum that ARRT’s bylaws allow.

DuBose is Department Chair and MRI Program Director of the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Services, and Associate Professor, at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas. She spent more than 20 years as a radiologic technologist, earning ARRT credentials in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Quality Management. She has been an educator for more than 15 years.

DuBose earned a B.S. degree in health services administration from Macon State College in Macon, Georgia, and a master of science degree in radiologic sciences from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. She earned her doctorate in educational leadership at Arkansas State University.
An author or co-author of multiple journal articles and textbook chapters, DuBose has also presented at local, regional, national, and international conferences. In addition to being a member of many radiological societies and serving on multiple professional and university committees, she is past president of the Association of Collegiate Educators in Radiologic Technology and a member of several editorial review boards. DuBose served as an MRI Delegate in the American Society of Radiologic Technologists House of Delegates meetings from 2013 through 2017, and she served on ARRT’s MRI Examination Committee from 2009 through 2014.

“MRI technology is rapidly advancing,” DuBose says, “and the role of the technologist is changing to meet these new challenges and opportunities. MRI safety and the quality of patient care are my top concerns. I’m looking forward to this new opportunity to serve our profession.”

Madoff is Vice Chairman for Academic Affairs and Professor of Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and an attending physician at New York – Presbyterian/Weill Cornell in New York. An internationally recognized expert in interventional oncology, he earned his B.A. from Emory University in Atlanta and his M.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. Madoff completed an internship in internal medicine and a residency in radiology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, then did fellowship training in vascular and interventional radiology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. He was on faculty at MD Anderson Center for a decade before becoming Division Chief of Interventional Radiology at Weill Cornell in 2011.
