Black-and-white photograph of Dr. Helen Taussig, an older woman with short, wavy gray hair, wearing cat-eye glasses, a pearl necklace, and a white medical coat over a dark blouse. She stands in a clinical setting, holding up a large chest X-ray film to the light with her left hand, examining it closely with a thoughtful, focused expression as she looks slightly upward and to the side. Behind her, multiple other X-ray images of torsos and rib cages are displayed on a viewing box or light panels, illuminating the scene.
Cardiologist Dr. Helen Taussig founded the field of pediatric cardiology.
Co-developed the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt in 1944. This groundbreaking surgical procedure treated "blue baby syndrome" saving thousands of infants who previously had no treatment option.
