Dr. Aaron Weinstein, professor emeritus of radiology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, died of a heart attack Tuesday shortly after arriving at University Hospital to read X-rays and work with the resident physicians.

        Dr. Weinstein, 75, loved all aspects of teaching, so much so that, although recently retired, he continued working part-time and lecturing.

        His radiology students selected him to receive the Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching several times.

        “Just about anything he did, he did it with a passion and intensity,” his son-in-law, Tom McGrath of Blue Ash, said.

        Dr. Weinstein was born in Price Hill to Russian immigrants and graduated from Western Hills High School.

        He received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Cincinnati.

        He trained to be a surgeon, but encroaching arthritis necessitated a switch to radiology.

        He became an expert in his field and co-wrote a leading textbook that has been translated into many languages and is still used in medical schools.

        In addition to teaching, Dr. Weinstein worked for many years at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, where he was chief of the radiology department and chief of staff.

        In his college days, he played varsity basketball and tennis, advancing to the NCAA tennis tournament.

        Arthritis also deprived him of this passion, but he served as president of U.S. Diving and U.S. Aquatic Sports. His daughter, Barbie, was a 1979 Pan American gold medal diver whose Olympic hopes died with the U.S. boycott of the games in 1980.

        Dr. Weinstein lived in Walnut Hills and was a longtime member of Isaac M. Wise Temple.

        Survivors include Shirley, his wife of 47 years; three daughters, Amy Lidsky of Minneapolis, Dr. Sue Weinstein Nussbaum of Evendale, and Barb McGrath of Blue Ash; and six grandchildren.

        Services have been held. Burial was at United Jewish Cemetery in Montgomery.

        Memorials: Discover Health Adventures in Learning, Rookwood Tower, 3805 Edwards Road, Suite 566, Cincinnati 45209.
