Sealed Time Capsule is in ACR Atrium; Tribute to 100 Years of Radiology
A sealed time capsule commemorating the first 100 years of radiology now stands in the atrium of the American College of Radiology in Reston, VA. 3M Medical Imaging Systems provided the time capsule as a contribution to Radiology Centennial, Inc.

Attending a brief ceremony held last month at ACR to dedicate the sealed time capsule in its new residence were Carl M. Mansfield of the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD and a member of the RCI Executive Committee; Leonard M. Glassman of Washington Radiology, PC, Washington, DC, a member of the RCI Convocation Committee; from 3M p; Edward L. Harder, Mary C. Wagner, Wayne Lindstrom, Jonathan Sharf and 3Ms public relations representative James Trevis. ACR representatives were John C. Curry, executive director and Otha Linton, RCI executive director.
"This ceremony marks the last public event of radiology''s year-long centennial celebration," Dr. Mansfield said. Otha Linton and John Curry thanked all those who contributed to the success of the centennial.
Materials Enclosed in The Capsule
Duplicate copies of selected capsule materials are being archived at the ACR and in the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda.
Items enclosed in the capsule were selected for their historic, scientific, medical and scholarly interest, and to reflect not only the origins of radiology, but current radiology standards, practices and challenges.
