Patrick Wojtylak, MSHA, CNMT, Radiology System Manager - Nuclear Medicine at University Hospitals of Cleveland, was selected to receive the SNMMI-TS Professional Development Award at this year’s SNMMI Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

Yuran Zhu, PhD, a recent BME graduate from Dr. Xin Yu’s lab, has been selected as a finalist in this year’s ISMRM Young Investigator Awards competition for her work on 3D MR Fingerprinting for Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Imaging of the Whole Mouse Brain. Dr. Zhu presented the work at ISMRM in Honolulu.

Kristen Zarcone, a PhD student in the lab of Will Grissom, PhD, was invited to give a “pitch” presentation of her abstract entitled “Mimicking Transcranial Focused Ultrasound with a DC Loop Coil for Repeatable and Safe Development of Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging Methods” in person at the ISMRM Interventional MRI …

Congratulations to three trainees on their awards at the 2025 CCIR 20th Anniversary Symposium! Laura Chen - Best First-Year PhD Student Poster, Ananya Subramaniam - Runner-Up Power Pitch Award, and Madison Albert - Best Power Pitch Award

The Collaborative Science Pilot Awards, a program supported by the CWRU-UH Joint Strategic Leadership Committee, recently awarded five research teams engaged in new and promising scientific studies, including a team led by Drs. Chaitra Badve and Mark Griswold.

Researchers at CWRU, UH, and Houston Methodist received two grants totaling $4M from the National Institutes of Health to develop an AI model that will analyze images from calcium-scoring computed tomography (CT) scans and predict cardiovascular risk.

Will Grissom and colleagues were awarded a five-year, $3.7M grant from the National Cancer Institute, pioneering a new approach to prostate cancer surgery by combining advanced robotics and “low-field” MRI technology.

With a $3 million grant from the NIH, Dan Ma and colleagues are using advanced imaging technology to better understand changes in the infant brain that may accompany Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in the project, "Comprehensive MR Fingerprinting for Infants and Young Children at Risk for Developmental Delays."

Juhwan Lee, Research Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, received an NHLBI K award for his project titled, "Multi-modality evaluation of high-risk coronary atherosclerotic plaque", to "develop methods for the non-invasive, quantitative evaluation of coronary artery disease in computed tomography angiography images."…

Dorian Durig presented a poster and gave an oral talk titled "Nanobubble-Labeled CAR-T Cell Tracking via Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: Assessing Biodistribution and Kinetics" at the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) conference. Dorian is mentored by Agata Exner, PhD and David Wald, MD, PhD.
