Title: Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM) to Reduce Biopsy Rates for Less Than Highly Suspicious Breast Abnormalities: a Prospective Study
Dr. Ahmed Al-Khafaji who was selected for the AUR-ACR Research Scholar Program. His project "Radiogenomics of Y90-treated Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases" was chosen for an oral presentation at AUR 2022. Congratulations Dr. Al-Khafaji!
As part of theranostics service, Nuclear medicine at UPMC Presby-Shadyside has introduced the much-anticipated Lu-177 PSMA therapy program to metastatic prostate cancer patients under compassionate access, the first of its kind in the entire state even before its FDA approval.
Through RADAID International, Dr. Terry Agbo (R2 diagnostic radiology resident) gave a lecture remotely to family medicine residents based at the ELWA Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia on 1/21/22. Dr. Agbo covered abdominal X-ray anatomy and basic abdominal emergency radiographic findings. More interactive lectures are planned!
Congratulations to Aneta Kowalski (M4 at UPSOM) recipient of the Gerald D. Dodd Jr., Research Award at the 2022 SBI/ACR Breast Imaging Symposium for her abstract, "Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM) Biopsy: Initial Trial and Experience." This research award is presented to the most outstanding abstract submitted by a medical student or resident to the Symposium. Aneta worked with Drs. Gannot Harnist, Kelly, Lu, Nair, Sumkin, Vargo, and Zuley from the Breast Imaging division. Congratulations everyone on this terrific award!
This study evaluated trends in volume and reimbursement for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement by physicians and advanced practice providers for Medicare enrollees from 2010-2018 with specific attention to the changes in volume following the publication of MAGIC guidelines in 2015. The volume of PICC placement steadily decreased since 2010 with a sharper decline between 2015 and 2016, correlating with the publication of the MAGIC guidelines which recommended more limited use of PICCs. The role of advanced practice providers in PICC placement has increased over this time period.
Be sure to join us for the next meeting! Paula Novelli, MD, FSIR, will lead the group in a discussion of Radical Candor from Kim Scott, which shows readers how to care personally and challenge directly, while soliciting criticism to improve your leadership and providing guidance that helps others grow.
