The Department welcomes “home” Dr. Dean Bidgood, a UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus ('77-'81) and former faculty
member ('93-'95) who re-joined the faculty as Associate Professor of Pediatric Radiology in July 2008. In addition
to 18 years of clinical experience in private and academic settings, he is also the author of 31 peer-reviewed
publications (13 as first author). The recipient of numerous awards, Dr. Bidgood has been hailed by his colleagues,
former NC Governor James Hunt, and the media for his groundbreaking work in moving the PACS system from the laboratory to
widespread implementation in healthcare facilities worldwide. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida
before coming to Chapel Hill for his residency and fellowship. In addition to his medical training, Dr. Bidgood also completed an MS
in Biomedical Engineering (UNC-CH, '95), during which time he received an NIH-sponsored fellowship in Medical Informatics, and
later served as a visiting scientist ('95-'97) at the NIH Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communication.
He and wife Diane live in Chapel Hill and have four children and two grandchildren. He holds a Masters in Divinity from Duke University
(2004) and has been active in several churches in the Triangle area.
