Dr. Nola Hylton's research @ucsfimaging.bsky.social helped make MRI a tool for breast imaging & improved care for women worldwide. She was elected to @nam.edu in 2024. Read her story ➡️ radiology.ucsf.edu/news/nola-hy... #WIMM #WomenInMedicineMonth

CT-like fracture detail from an ordinary MRI, with no radiation & no second scan. That's what @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Alexandra Gersing's team is working on. We're proud to recognize her work this #WomenInMedicineMonth. bit.ly/3PD670b #WIMM

Pulmonary AVMs have been grouped into 3 classic types. New Research from @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Drs. Miles Conrad, Kimberly Kallianos, Steven Hetts & collaborators make the case for a 4th, telangiectatic PAVMs, identified in 35 of 100 HHT patients on chest CT. bit.ly/4yCBAAb

The habit of looking closely came from portraiture, long before it came from medicine. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Connie Lu brings that eye to breast imaging. Read her story: radiology.ucsf.edu/news/transla... #WIMM #WomenInMedicineMonth

Repeat liver imaging in HHT after an initial negative or nonactionable scan? In 477 patients, clinically significant hepatic AVMs were found in 1.0%. Findings from Torianna Lomax Truong, Drs. Michael Ohliger & Miles Conrad support periodic reassessment. bit.ly/4iujxHU

"There are a lot of procedures for benign prostatic enlargement & a lot of procedures for prostate cancer, but nothing quite like this." Dr. Ryan Kohlbrenner on TULSA, an incision-free treatment now offered at Mission Bay. bit.ly/4hLIDRy #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth

In a new video, @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Pavithra Viswanath shows how a specialized scan can reveal whether a therapy is working against a fast-growing childhood brain tumor, work still in preclinical research. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTye... #WIMM #WomenInMedicineMonth

Monitoring Diffuse Midline Glioma: Pavithra Viswanath, PhD

Pavithra Viswanath, PhD, imaging scientist at UCSF, conducts pre-clinical trials using a new application of deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) to monitor how pediatric diffuse midline glioma grows and…

Add this one to your #NASCI26 schedule ➡️ @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Shrav Sridhar presents on pre-operative imaging for double outlet right ventricle, a defect where precise anatomic detail guides the surgical approach.

Join @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Kim Kallianos & Indiana University's Dr. Shawn Teague as they co-moderate a #NASCI26 joint session built around the finer points of reading the heart, with thoracic expertise in the mix.

The Face Lectures continue with Head to Head: Face. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. @cynxinwu.bsky.social presents alongside @ohsunews.bsky.social's Dr. Bronwyn Hamilton. Close out #ASHNR26 strong.

The brain's hidden veins. The earliest signs of Alzheimer's. An infection you cannot see. Three @ucsfimaging.bsky.social #postdocs, Panos Pardalidis, Tamara Vasilkovska & Sanghee Lee, are making each one visible. Read there stories during #PostdocAppreciationWeek: bit.ly/4ygtsWw

This #WomenInMedicineMonth, meet @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Renuka Sriram. She uses a special kind of MRI to see whether a cancer treatment is woring long before a tumor starts to shrink, which helps doctors chance course sooner. bit.ly/4hf9jJ8 #WIMM

Happy #PostdocAppreciationWeek! Meet four of our #postdocs. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Daniel Gebrezgiabhier, Pouya Metanat, Jennifer Sentra & Tugce Ulas are advancing imaging for cancer, Alzheimer's & joint health. Learn more about their research: bit.ly/4y8irGA

Primary hyperparathyroidism reads differently in younger patients, & syndromic mutations can be the reason. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social #fellow Ellie Beheshtian shows what those cases look like on imaging in her #ASHNR26 exhibit.
