Abstract

It is with sorrow that we report the death of former World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) president Marvin Ziskin at the age of 86 years. A physician as well as a bioengineer, Marvin was actively involved in ultrasound research for more than 57 years. In 1965, as a research associate in Diagnostic Ultrasound at Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he pioneered the establishment of 2-D ultrasonography as a valuable diagnostic modality. In September 1965, a photograph of his laboratory featuring the ultrasonic image of a fetal head appeared on the cover of LIFE Magazine.
