He then joined the Medical College of Wisconsin as Dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Senior Associate Dean for Research.
Bill wrote over 400 peer-reviewed papers and 24 books, including Hendee's Medical Imaging Physics and Hendee's Radiation Therapy Physics. He served as Editor in Chief of Medical Physics for nearly three decades and was elected president of AAPM, SNMMI, and the ABR among others. Bill’s numerous honors included the AAPM Coolidge Award as well as gold medals from ARRS and RSNA; several of his medical physics program graduates went on to become Coolidge Awardees and AAPM Presidents.
Bill was an avid reader whose painting and pottery deepened an appreciation for the arts. He is most
remembered by those who knew him as inspiring, passionate about learning, kind-hearted, charming, and devoted to his family and friends.
