Farewell to former chair, Dr. Jeremy J. Kaye
Jeremy Kaye, M.D., former chair of the Department of Radiology and Radiologic Sciences, received a special visit from the Commodore as fellow colleagues said good-bye on his last day at Vanderbilt. After 26 years serving Vanderbilt, Kaye will retire on October 31, 2014. Dr. Kaye served as Carol D. and Henry P.
‘White matter’ behaves differently in children with dyslexia
Trans-institutional neuroimaging research at Vanderbilt University finds that the brain may be structured differently in children with dyslexia, a reading disorder that affects up to 17 percent of the population.
The behavioral characteristics of dyslexia are well documented, including struggling to recognize and decode words as well as trouble with comprehension and reading aloud.
Thomas A. Powers Lead Ceremony
After obtaining an undergraduate degree, completing four years of medical school, and slogging through a rigorous internship, generations of first year Vanderbilt Radiology Residents have eagerly arrived to begin their training for lifelong careers in Radiology. Arriving in July of that first year of residency can be a bit overwhelming without prior training in image interpretation or skills in dictation. However, when countless residents have felt ill-equipped to provide a differential diagnosis or dictate a clear report, one element that universally bonds radiologists is the p
Images to Algorithms
“During the past few decades, physicists have created marvelous tools to peer inside living people,” says Bennett Landman, PhD, assistant professor of electrical engineering, radiology and radiological sciences, biomedical engineering, computer engineering and computer science. “We are just at the threshold where, as engineers, we can create systems to help unravel these data.”
Will Grissom makes problem-solving nerds look cool
“I live for the problems we get to solve,” says Will Grissom, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, radiology and electrical engineering. The problems Grissom refers to revolve around magnetic resonance imaging – helping clinicians see inside the human body, discovering new ways to target diseases and creating more effective and efficient health care solutions.
