MD/PhD student Christina MacAskill received an NCI Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA F30 Fellowship for her project which will develop a technique that could help identify non-responding tumors sooner. Christina is mentored by Drs. Holly Marshall and Chris Flask.

The team will explore the project, "Multi-parametric magnetic resonance fingerprinting of lung nodules: correlation with computed tomography and diagnostic pathology." 

Shuo Li, PhD, Leonard Case, Jr. Professor of Engineering at CWRU, has accepted an invitation, extended on behalf of the National Institutes of Health director, to serve on the board of scientific counselors of the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

Dr. Ting-Yu (Jack) Su, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Dr. Irene Wang's Epilepsy Imaging Lab, Cleveland Clinic, received an AES Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award. His project will develop radiomics-enhanced MR fingerprinting to improve the characterization of focal cortical dysplasia for epilepsy patient's brain surgery planning.

Get to know our members through this written series that will spotlight researchers across CCIR. The inaugural edition introduces Ning Lu, PhD, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, CWRU.

Congratulations to Dr. Yong Chen on promotion to associate professor at the CWRU School of Medicine!

New instruments include the Cubresa NuPET PET-MRI Insert, Mediso nanoScan SPECT/CT/PET, and Iconeus One Functional Ultrasound system! Please reach out for more information about these systems, training, or scheduling.

CCIR and the UH Dept. of Radiology were represented at ISMRM with 28 posters, 7 oral presentations, and 3 power pitches. Several researchers received awards. Will Grissom, PhD, was recognized as a Fellow of the Society, ISMRM, for significant contributions to MRI in RF transmit, pulse design, and B1 mapping.

Rui Cao, PhD received an AHA award to develop a wearable device for monitoring critically ill children with congenital heart disease. The technology combines photoacoustic imaging with ultrafast ultrasound. Collaborators include Drs. Animesh Tandon and Patcharapong Suntharos at Cleveland Clinic.
