Remember studying from Braunwald’s Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine? The latest edition has a new cover thanks to Dr. Kelly Jarvis and Dr. Markl’s 4D Lab. Last year, the team captured a single-ventricle pediatric patient after Fontan repair using the 4D flow imaging developed in their lab. This image has been awarded first place in […]
Dr. Zhuoli Zhang and his team recently published an article in Radiology about a PET-imaging-guided method to detect early metabolic response to irreversible electroporation (IRE). The study shows that IRE induces metabolic changes that can be measured readily on 18FDG PET images. This study enabled us to confirm the feasibility of using 18FDG PET images to monitor responses to IRE […]
Dr. Alex Barker, Assistant Professor of Radiology who specializes in cardiovascular MRI and biomedical engineering, will be collaborating with Dr. Paul Fedak, a cardiac surgeon at the University of Calgary, on a multi-million dollar NIH R01 grant dedicated to researching personalized treatments for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Teams here at Northwestern and in Calgary will run a […]
Our cardiac imaging faculty and fellows have returned after traveling to Barcelona for the SCMR conference, which was a joint EuroCMR and society meeting. Northwestern participants gave presentations and attended panels with the best of the best in their field, as well as enjoyed travel around Barcelona and Spain. Congrats to everyone who participated! Brad […]
The dust has settled after the rush of RSNA week — one of the busiest and biggest conferences of the year for our faculty, students, residents, and fellows. Northwestern Radiology had a great showing this year in several categories including oral abstracts, poster discussions, workshops, educational exhibits, courses, and session moderation. Of note were three Northwestern Radiology educational exhibits […]
Dr Dong Hyun-Kim’s recent work on MRI visible drug eluting magnetic nanospheres for transcatheter delivery in Liver Tumors will be featured on the cover of “Theranostics” Journal this May. Authors include Jeane Chen, Reed Omary and Andrew Larson. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible drug eluting microspheres were developed for targeted arterial-infusion chemotherapy with microfluidic […]
The Small Animal Division of CTI with the support of the Department of Radiology and the the Feinberg School of Medicine will be installing a new small animal PET/CT (Mediso NanoScan) in the Lower Court of the Olson Pavilion (710 North Fairbanks Court, Chicago, 60611) The system will be adjacent […]
On August 28, the ‘CTI seminar series’ will resume to provide a forum for internal and external speakers to present their research. The aim is to stimulate the discussion of new ideas through presentation by internal speakers and external guests. CTI Seminar Series: When: Every 2 weeks on Thursdays from 12:00-1:00pm Where: Large conference room at 737 […]
Northwestern Radiology’s Center for Translational Imaging (CTI) recently earned a 2014 Outstanding Core Facility Award from the University’s Office for Research. Announced in early July, CTI will be one of four core facilities to be honored at a special fall celebration for its exemplary service and support of research at Northwestern. Judges based their winning […]
