Anita L. Manne

I am a teacher, first and foremost. From an early age, I enjoyed helping others and exploring different ways of looking at things, both simple and complex. Chiropractic as a career became my passion after meeting some enthusiastic students from Logan College in Missouri, but my grand plan to be a clinician stalled after I became interested in radiology as a first year student.

After graduating from Logan in 1981, a radiology residency opportunity presented itself at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, now Southern California University of Health Sciences. I studied under Dr. Joseph Howe, one of the great chiropractic teachers/mentors of our time. After that I joined Northwestern in 1985 as a newly credentialed chiropractic radiologist. I’ve been here ever since.

My professional interests include all facets of musculoskeletal radiology, chest radiology, technological enhancements to teaching and learning, and student motivation. I serve as the chair of the Master of Health Science in Diagnostic Imaging program in the College of Graduate Health Sciences.
