The Gabriel H. Wilson Award was established in 1988 and named in honor of the Society's first President.

History:

The Western Neuroradiological Society (WNRS) was founded at its first meeting on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles on November 2, 1968 at the instigation of Dr. Gabriel H. Wilson with the support of 32 founding members. Early meetings were in affiliation with The Federation of Western Societies of Neurologic Science but the first of the independent meetings was held in 1972. There were only two membership requirements in the original bylaws; radiology board certification in the US or Canada and an active interest in neuroradiology. Through the years as the membership has grown (now 322 in 4 categories), criteria have changed and now include one year of neuroradiology fellowship, eastern geographical limits at Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas (founding members excepted), and neuroradiology as the primary subspecialty.

The annual meeting, usually held in early October, is regarded by our members as having a warmth conducive to productive and pleasant exchange of scientific information. In the future, the Society will continue to become an even more important force in the exchange of scientific information and in the development of worthwhile friendships among neuroradiologists in the West.
