Whither Thou Goest, I Will Go

The title of this editorial is from Ruth I:16 (King James version of the Bible), and as with Ruth and Naomi, the disciplines of diagnostic radiology (DR) and radiation oncology (RO) were inexorably linked from their inceptions through the post –World War II era. In the late 1940s, Juan del Regato, MD, one of the early proponents of RO in the United States, corresponded with the American Board of Radiology (ABR) to request a separation of the disciplines within radiology; however, it was not until more than 3 decades later, in 1982, that the ABR administered its last general radiology examination.
