It is with quite mixed emotions that I come to you for the last time as Editor-in-Chief of Applied Radiology .

Serving in this position has been one of the highlights of my career. It has allowed me to step out of my uber-focused area of pediatric neuroradiology, engage with and learn so much from colleagues across all of Radiology’s broad disciplines, as well as thought leaders in health care management, wellness, and sustainability. Meeting so many of our readers at our booth at RSNA each year has brought me special joy, especially hearing their wonderful comments about how what they have learned from Applied Radiology has influenced their practice and improved the care of their patients.

Of course, none of this would be possible without Kieran Anderson, our fearless leader, to whom I owe my deepest gratitude.

As Vice President and Group Publisher for Anderson Publishing, Kieran, along with the entire Anderson family, welcomed me as one of their own, and entrusted me with the leadership of their flagship journal for the past 6 years. I also owe my thanks to Joe Jalkiewicz, Sharon Breske, and Claudia Stahl, who have been outstanding editorial partners. Barbara Shopiro, Judy Murray, Carolyn Wellington, and Meaghan Honeck, too many thanks to you all for your support and for sharing your expertise. And, finally, to my husband, who has supported me through it all for over 20 years together, thank you so very much.

This has been a tremendous honor and I will miss my Applied Radiology family terribly.

But I have long been a believer in term limits and the importance of succession planning. To that end, I leave, secure in the knowledge that you are all in excellent hands.

I am thrilled to announce the new Applied Radiology Editor-in-Chief is Nina S. Vincoff, MD.

Many of our regular readers will recognize Dr. Vincoff’s name from her active role in the Breast Imaging section on our editorial advisory board and the numerous review articles she has published with us.

Dr. Vincoff is the Breast Imaging Division Chief at Northwell Health, where she is also Medical Director at the Katz Institute for Women’s Health and associate professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in New York. A committed patient advocate, Dr. Vincoff is the Vice Chair of the American College of Radiology Patient and Family Centered Care Commission.

I wish Nina the greatest success; she brings tremendous energy and enthusiasm to the position, and I look forward to watching her take Applied Radiology to new heights. In joining the group of esteemed as Editors Emeriti, I do hope to stay engaged, including with the outstanding Applied Radiology /Bracco Leaders on the Horizon Program, to foster the next generation of radiology experts and leaders, as those who came before me so generously gave of their time and expertise for me.

To that end, in my final issue we are sharing the first-place winners in the review paper and original research categories from last year’s Leaders on the Horizon Program as testament to their work and as a reminder to all residents to submit their papers for this year’s program before September 1 at https://appliedradiology.com/leaders . I look forward to reading your submissions.

Stay well.
