Alessia Tognolini, MD
Awarded Research Project:
"Cardiac Perfusion MRI at 3.0T with Cold Pressor Test for the Assessment of Endothelial Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetic Patients"
Dr. Alessia Tognolini, MD, under the mentorship of Dr. Stefan Ruehm, MD, PhD, Professor of Radiology and Director of Cardiovascular CT, has received the Trainee Research Prize for her case-control study investigating the feasibility of stress myocardial perfusion MRI with cold pressor test for the assessment of coronary endothelial dysfunction in diabetic patients.
Sarah N Khan, MD
Awarded Research Project:
"Metallic Pediatric Interventional Devices: Prediction of Artifacts on MRI by Ex-vivo Characterization"
Dr. Sarah N Khan, MD, under the mentorship of Dr. J Paul Finn, MD, Professor of Radiology and Section Chief, Diagnostic Cardiovascular Imaging has been awarded the Trainee Research Prize for a study evaluating the type and extent of MR artifact caused by pediatric interventional, catheter based devices including stents, septal occluders, vascular plugs and embolization coils.
Jacqueline L Hollada
