"I'm grateful to Dr. Eben Rosenthal for his research mentorship and for the collaborations with the OHNS faculty."  Dr. Koran joined our nuclear medicine section as faculty in 2021 after graduating from Vanderbilt's Medical Scientist Training Program, where she earned her MD and PhD.

The International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine X-Nuclei workshop was recently held in Marseille, France, and recognized one VUIIS student for their work in sodium MRI techniques.
