The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) proudly recognizes four emerging radiologists, as well as their institutions and research projects, with the 2024 ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards:
Jessica T. Wen, MD, PhD | Stanford University
ARRS Melissa Rosado de Christenson Award
“Alpha-Fetoprotein Response Patterns After Y-90 Radioembolization for Intermediate-to-Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Predicts Disease Progression and Survival”
Melina Hosseiny, MD | University of California, San Diego
ARRS President’s Award
“Multi-task Ensemble Deep Learning for Differential Diagnosis of Pneumonia and Pulmonary Edema on Chest Radiograph”
Ahmed Taher, MD | University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
ARRS Executive Council Award
“Safety and Efficacy of Zilretta Administered to Patients with Greater Trochanteric Bursitis”
Hana L. Haver, MD, MSc | Massachusetts General Hospital
ARRS Executive Council Award
“Large Language Models to Assist Breast Imaging Reporting: A Comparison of GPT-3.5 Versus GPT-4 in Assigning BI-RADS Final Assessment Categories”
Supported by The Roentgen Fund®, the ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards are available to all ARRS In-Training Members in imaging and allied sciences research to acknowledge their work and present their results during the ARRS Annual Meeting. ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards are based on the competence and promise of the candidate in radiological research, education, or administration and the scientific merit and potential impact of the candidate’s research.
Stay tuned—an application call for the 2025 ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards will be announced later this year.
Clinician Educator Development Program Supports 30 Radiologists
Each year, CEDP recipients are selected to receive a travel grant to attend a specialized workshop during the ARRS Annual Meeting. With a curriculum offering increased proficiency in teaching skills, as well as educational activity design, ARRS’ CEDP remains a highly interactive day of learning. Focusing on new and emerging pedagogical tools, while improving already acquired clinical acumen, over half of this expertly curated syllabus consisted of hands-on learning.
Offering a unique opportunity to interact with fellow enthusiastic clinician educators the Saturday before the meeting begins, attendees engaged further with the esteemed faculty ARRS convened: 2024 Distinguished Educator, David M. Naeger, MD; longtime CEDP instructors Judith A. Gadde, DO, and Travis S. Henry, MD, first-time CEDP leader Sherry Wang, MD; as well as the 2021 AJR Melvin M. Figley Fellow in Radiology Journalism, Omer A. Awan, MD.
Chairpersons and program directors at medical schools, affiliated hospitals, and clinical research institutions are invited to nominate two candidates per institution for the 2025 ARRS Clinician Educator Development Program. For full details, please visit ARRS.org/CEDP.
Honorary Lectures Hone In On Cardiothoracic Interpretation, Chest Radiography
On Monday, May 6, and Tuesday, May 7, Ballroom A of John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston witnessed not one, but two must-see Roentgen Fund Honorary Lectures.
Former Roentgen Fund chair Melissa Rosado de Christenson, MD, sponsored and helped to deliver “Great Cardiothoracic Interpretations From Our Practices.” Presented in memory of Robert D. Pugatch, MD, Dr. Rosado de Christenson, was joined by Drs. Jeffrey Klein and Caroline Chiles. These three luminaries of chest imaging—all past presidents of the Society of Thoracic Radiology—discussed the great cases that they have seen in their own clinical practices.
In honor of Drs. Rosado de Christenson and Gerald Abbott, 2024 ARRS Gold Medalist Philip Costello, MD, graciously underwrote “Chest Radiography: Pearls from the Experts.” A high-profile presentation in four high-impact parts, Dr. Abbott, himself, opened, pointing out pearls and pitfalls alike when interpreting chest radiographs. Saurabh Agarwal’s presentation on focal lung disease followed, with Tami J. Bang offering a much need primer for cardiac devices. The last session of this year’s slate of Honorary Lectures concluded with Ioannis Vlahos’ guidance regarding dual-energy chest radiographs.
Since 1990, The Roentgen Fund has granted millions of dollars to hundreds of imaging professionals for both research pursuits and professional development. Today, through six vital scholarship and fellowship programs, the generosity of The Roentgen Fund’s donors is channeled to every corner of the globe—establishing dual foundations in innovation and leadership for a true diversity of radiology’s next generation.
The Roentgen Fund Honorary Lecture offers donors a prestigious opportunity to honor a mentor, recognize a colleague, or remember a loved one in a high-level manner during the ARRS Annual Meeting. At the same time, these generous donors support scholarships and awards to invest in the future of radiology.
