Resumen
FERREIRA-MORENO, Víctor Guillermo; TARAJANO-MARQUEZ, Juliana Mercedes y MARTI-CORUNA, María Cristina. Significant aspects in the historical evolution of radiology in Matanzas. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2023, vol.45, n.6, pp. 995-1010. Epub 31-Dic-2023. ISSN 1684-1824.
Introduction:
Although radiology is unavoidably dependent on technology, other, lesser-known edges, have favored its growth as a specialty in Matanzas, and despite the important role they have played during its development, no documentation has been found that characterizes them, and it also happens with its main actors which favors the destruction of memory. The rescue of this information, on the contrary, integrates memory and identity.
Objective:
To characterize significant aspects in the historical evolution of radiology in Matanzas.
Materials and methods:
The analytical-synthetic, deductive-inductive methods of historical research were used and also the chronological and geographical sub-methods. Interviews were conducted with key informants, and documentary review.
Results:
Elements related to teaching, its managerial staff and other aspects such as the Matanzas chapter of the Cuban Society of Imaging, the constitution of the Pediatric Radiology Section and the Honorary Chair Dr. Francisco Domínguez Roldán are described.
Conclusions:
Radiology in Matanzas has experienced sustained progress over the years―in addition to the technological sphere, the strengthening of its teaching staff, the continuous training of its human capital, the work of the chapter and the constitution of the Honoforific Chair Dr. Domínguez Roldán―, despite external and internal limitations. Since its beginning, it has had actors who have managed to maintain and develop it.
