A century of radiology at the University of Toronto.

Abstract

The University of Toronto occupies a somewhat distinctive position in the history of radiology. In few other medical centers is a single university department responsible for such a large population and such a variety of teaching hospitals. In the beginning the radiology department of the University of Toronto was mainly situated in a single hospital, Toronto General Hospital. The hospital controlled the academic department and not the other way around, as was so often the case elsewhere. Because the Toronto General Hospital provided the seedling from which radiology in Toronto and in much of English-speaking Canada grew, the story of a century of radiology at the University of Toronto is a story predominantly situated at Toronto General Hospital.
