Design rationale
Two Sea Turtles, for Cape Cod, are placed on a red field, the field of Galbraith of Culcreuch. On the lower gold part of the lozenge is placed the rod of Æsculapius (also spelled Asculepius, the god of healing in Greek mythology), a copper rod entwined with a green snake, over which is placed a disc divided into six alternating sectors of red and black covered with a black hole in the center (the combination representing her chosen field of radiology).
