Northwestern Radiology Welcomes ASNR 2023 to Chicago
Faculty Update | Virginia Hill, MD
Northwestern neuroradiologists played important roles in welcoming the 61st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Neuroradiology to Chicago. The meeting, entitled “Transforming the Future of Neuroradiology”, was held at the Sheraton Grand in Chicago from April 29 - May 3, 2023. The first plenary session, "Unpacking the Stars: Luminaries Share Their Cases and Analyses," was co-moderated by Chief of Neuroradiology at Northwestern, Alexander J. Nemeth, MD. The session began with highlights from an oral history project "Stories of Neuroradiology," comprising more than 100 hours of interviews with 65 pioneers in the neuroradiology field, including our own Chair Emeritus neuroradiologist Eric Russell. Dr. Nemeth then kicked off the educational portion of the session by introducing his former Neuroradiology Fellowship Program Director and mentor from Massachusetts General Hospital, Pamela W. Schaefer, who gave a scintillating case-based talk entitled "Train the Brain." Later in the day, Ali Shaibani, Chief of Neurointerventional Radiology, moderated the informative session "From Embryology to a Contemporary Understanding of Functional Neurovascular Anatomy," reminding us of the importance of the embryology of the arteries and veins of the head and neck. Marinos Kontzialis co-moderated the session "Essentials of Brain Imaging 1." This session included talks on imaging aneurysms, primary brain tumors in the adult, intracranial infection, and head trauma. Virginia Hill had fun introducing Eshan Damle to his first ASNR meeting. Eshan is a Tulane undergraduate who participated in the Northwestern Medicine Pre-Med Internship Program in 2022. Eshan had a poster accepted to ASNR23 on the imaging of a cauda equina paraganglioma. The Foundation of the ASNR's 2023 four grant recipients also were recently announced. Virginia B. Hill, MD received a grant for the project "Augmented Intelligence Analysis of Meningioma MRIs According to DNA Methylation Subgroups, Molecular Markers, and Copy Number Variants." This project will run from July 2023 through June 2024.
