Matsumoto Elected ACR President; Larson Named Vice President at ACR 2026

The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) Council has elected Alan H. Matsumoto, MD, MA, FACR, as president and David Larson, MD, MBA, FACR, as vice president during ACR 2026, the organization’s annual meeting. As previously announced, Christoph Wald, MD, PhD, MBA, FACR, will serve as chair of the ACR Board of Chancellors (BOC), with Gregory Nicola, MD, FACR, assuming the role of vice chair.

Matsumoto, a professor of radiology and former chair of the Department of Radiology at the University of Virginia, steps into the presidency following his tenure as outgoing chair of the BOC. His prior leadership roles include chair of the BOC Commission on Interventional and Cardiovascular Imaging and service on the ACR Council Steering Committee.

“Dr. Matsumoto is a trusted physician leader with a long record of service to the College and a clear commitment to quality, safety, and patient-centered care,” said ACR CEO Dana H. Smetherman, MD, MPH, MBA, FACR. “His experience across clinical practice, education, and ACR governance will continue to be a valuable resource as we work to advance policies, products, and services that help radiologists provide the highest quality patient care.”

Larson, a professor of radiology at Stanford University, currently serves as director of the Stanford AI Development and Evaluation Lab. He is the outgoing chair of the ACR Commission on Quality and Safety and a member of the ACR BOC Finance Committee. Larson is also the founder and co-director of the ACR Learning Network and the ImPower improvement training and project support program.

The newly elected leadership assumes their roles as the ACR continues to focus on advancing quality, safety, and innovation in radiologic practice.
