"Sir Peter “PK” Kerley (1900-1979) was a globally-renowned cardiothoracic radiologist who is primarily remembered now for his Kerley lines but in his lifetime was famed for his uncanny imaging diagnostic abilities, co-editing the famous 'A Text-book of X-Ray Diagnosis by British Authors', and co-founding the Faculty of Radiologists."
"In 1923 he qualified in medicine from University College in Dublin, with MB ChB BAO 5. The following year he travelled to Vienna to pursue training in otorhinolaryngology. However he quickly became enamoured with radiology, in particular that of the heart and chest. He returned to the UK and passed the Diploma in Medical Radiology and Electrology (DMRE), at the University of Cambridge in 1925. Thereafter he became a consulting radiologist to the Westminster Hospital (now part of the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital), in London, UK and Royal Chest Hospital."
