It was with great regret that the Brazilian College of Radiology and Image Diagnosis (CBR) received the news of the death of Dr. Marcelo Benicio dos Santos.
Dr. Marcelo was the son of Dr. Itazil Benicio dos Santos, former president of the CBR. He had a brilliant trajectory: He graduated in Medicine from the Federal University of Bahia in 1978 and was Full Professor in Radiology at the same institution. He completed his master's degree in Radiology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), in addition to his doctorate at the same university.
He was very active at the College, especially at the Teaching, Improvement and Medical Residency Commission (CEAR).
The CBR, on behalf of Brazilian Radiology, expresses solidarity and its most sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Marcelo.
