Next week, more than 50,000 radiology leaders from around the world will convene in Chicago for the RSNA's 102nd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting. Hosted at McCormick Place, the largest convention center in the country, RSNA will present the latest advancements in radiology through exhibits, educational sessions and scientific paper presentations.
Research from Vanderbilt Radiology trainees, Drs. Meaghan Magarik, Patrick Couture, Eleby Washington and Sarah Deraney, will be among the more than 1,700 scientific papers selected for presentation at this year’s meeting. In addition, second-year diagnostic radiology resident Dr. Karthik Sundaram will give an oral presentation of his abstract, “Prolactin Receptor-Mediated Internalization of Imaging Agents Detects Epithelial Ovarian Cancer with Enhanced Sensitivity and Specificity,” on Wednesday, November 30, during the 10:30 a.m. Molecular Imaging (Oncology) session.
“We are thrilled by the success of our trainees at Vanderbilt Radiology,” said Reed Omary, M.D., M.S., Carol D. and Henry P. Pendergrass Professor and Chair, Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences. “By presenting their research at RSNA, our trainees will represent Vanderbilt on the stage of the largest medical imaging meeting in the world. This enduring experience will be an important step on their journey to becoming the next generation of radiology leaders."
Dr. Magarik’s abstract, “Imaging of the Male Breast – Beyond the Basics,” identifies common and uncommon findings in the male breast, as well as the use of mammography and sonography in abnormal male breast findings.
Dr. Couture’s research reviews computed tomography angiographic evaluation of left ventricular assist devices, including normal post-operative imaging and common complications.
Dr. Washington highlights the difference between population health and population health management, and their relation to radiology, research and metrics in his paper, “Population Health and Population Health Management: What the Radiologist Needs to Know.”
And musculoskeletal fellow Dr. Deraney provides an overview of synovial osteochondromatosis and a strategy for its diagnosis in her abstract, “Extraordinary Cases of Synovial Osteochondromatosis.”
Digital and select scientific paper presentations, including those from Vanderbilt Radiology trainees, will be on display Sunday, November 28 to Friday, December 2, at the convention center’s Lakeside Learning Center.
