Congrats to team UPMC who came in second place by a slim margin at the RSNA Resident Competition. The team defeated perennial imaging competition powerhouse University of Cincinnati in a semifinal round before being narrowly beaten by the University of Maryland in the final round. Congratulations to all the teams and Well Done team UPMC!
