UPMC Pitt Women in Radiology (PWR)

The UPMC Pitt Women in Radiology (PWR) group is focused on mentorship and friendship. The group brings together residents, fellows, and faculty from throughout the UPMC Radiology department. Recent events include attending a picnic and virtual lecture in Dr. Hughes' backyard, discussions on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the academic careers of women in medicine and science, and a recent fall social hour. Look out for events in the spring for female medical students interested in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology!

UPMC Radiology to Install the Revolutionary Design PET Scanner Quadra

UPMC Radiology in partnership with the Hillman cancer center will be the first academic institution in the country to install the novel revolutionary design Siemens Vision Quadra® PET-CT scanner at its Pittsburgh Shadyside campus. This unconventional scanner is touted to offer a unique whole-body perspective and ultra-fast molecular imaging. The name Quadra® stems from its intrinsic capability equivalent to 4 traditional PET-CT scanners. This 106cm axial PET field-of-view will enable clinicians and researchers scan patients in one position and to dynamically follow tracer kinetics throughout the body. Also, this state-of-the-art design boasts best-in-class time-of-flight performance with unrivaled PET sensitivity. From tumor perfusion over time, to diverse pathophysiologic processes, Quadra® promises to expand a world of new opportunities, never been possible before in academic research and cancer imaging.
