In Hybrid Chapter #3, by students and academics, he explained that radiology is the medical specialty responsible for generating images of the inside of the body through various physical factors: x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic fields, and others.

Then, these images are used for diagnosis and, to a lesser extent, for predicting and treating diseases, because with access to quality imaging services and well-trained professionals, lives can be saved.

Therefore, he appreciated the initiative of the students in organizing these conferences in memory of Dr. Viveros Parker, who was a professor in the college and pioneered in Xalapa radiological practice by bringing the latest technology which, even now, remains a benchmark.
