Dean D.T. Maglinte, MD, FACR, FSAR, FASER (emeritus), FESGAR (Honorary), Distinguished Professor of Radiology and Imaging Sciences and Director of the Edwin Koch Visiting Professors Program is retiring at the end of June.
Dr. Maglinte received his Associate in Arts (Pre Med) and medical degrees from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines in 1965. He performed his internships at North General Hospital (Manila) and Northeastern Hospital (Philadelphia). He started his residency at Radiologisk Afdeling, Nykobing Falster, Denmark and finished at the Philadelphia General Hospital in Philadelphia in 1970. He was on the faculty of the University Pennsylvania before moving to Indianapolis in 1973.
Dr. Maglinte has received numerous awards for his lifetime achievements, including the Lifetime Service award (American Board of Radiology), Lifetime Achievement Award (University of Santo Tomas Medical Alumni Association), Honorary Fellow (ESGAR), Walter Bradford Canon Medial (Society of Abdominal Radiology) and Gold Medal Award (Indiana Radiological Society). Last year, a department Endowed Professorship in Radiology Education was named after Dr. Maglinte.
Dr. Maglinte has cultivated a national and international reputation for his work in gastrointestinal and abdominal radiology and his passion for education. He has served on numerous committees for the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists (now the Society of Abdominal Radiology), ACR, RSNA, ABR, ARRS, and ASER. He has taught countless educational courses and visiting professorships across the nation and internationally.
Dr. Maglinte has left a huge impact in the field of small bowel imaging and pelvic floor dysfunction. He has contributed to popularize and refine a hybrid examination, a combined multi-slice computed tomography (CT) examination with the enteroclysis method to create a modification, CT Enteroclysis, which provides further improvements by combining the multiplanar capability of CT and the functional information afforded by fluoroscopic real time assessment. The method has also been modified to use magnetic resonance. He invented the Balloon Enteroclysis (MEC®)(Cook, Inc.), the most commonly used diagnostic enteroclysis catheter in North America, the Decompression Sump/Enteroclysis Catheter (MDEC®)(Cook, Inc.), the only combined enteric decompression and diagnostic enteroclysis catheter in North America, and the Entrobar® Barium Sulfate Suspension (Lafayette Pharmaceuticals), a 50% w/v barium suspension for biphasic diagnostic enteroclysis.
His colleagues describe him as a creative, thoughtful, enthusiastic and dynamic teacher whose contributions include more than 300 presentations at national and international professional meetings, authorship and co-authorship of more than 150 original articles, 90 book chapters and review articles, and three books, including two definitive textbooks on small bowel imaging.
Dr. Maglinte has been married to Eleanor McGraw for 46 years and has three children (Jennifer, Danielle and Dino) and four grandchildren. The Maglinte’s children and grandchildren live in Zionsville, Chicago and Salem, Oregon.
Dr. Maglinte has made a lasting impact in the department as well as nationally and internationally. Dr. Maglinte retires at the end of this month. Please join us in wishing him a happy retirement and best of luck in the future!
