Radiographs remain the first imaging test for chronic knee pain, the top musculoskeletal complaint in primary care. In @jacrjournal.bsky.social, @uclaradiology.bsky.social researchers & collaborators update the ACR Appropriateness Criteria on when more imaging is warranted. bit.ly/4y94SpF
Inspired by their daughter Samantha, longtime UCLA donors Dr. Neal & Beth Cutler have endowed a chair in image-guided interventional oncology & funded translational cancer research. @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Dr. David Lu is the inaugural chair holder. bit.ly/4AECsq9
To mimic real penile vessel tortuosity, @uclaradiology.bsky.social researchers & collaborators 3D-printed a phantom from a patient CT angiogram & embedded Ferumoxytol-loaded tubing to test a new MRA protocol. More in #MedicalPhysics: doi.org/10.1002/mp.7...
The second edition of Interventional Oncology is out from Springer Nature with 20 new chapters, co-edited by UCLA Radiology alumnus Dr. Jonathan Kessler ('12), with chapters from @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Drs. Steven Raman & David Lu. bit.ly/4y4yg04
UCLA has reached its 100th TULSA case. Congratulations to everyone whose work & care made this milestone possible. #UCLAProud
Ten-year overall, cancer-specific, & local tumor progression-free survival were 76%, 85%, & 83% after microwave ablation of T1 RCC. In #JVIR, @uclaradioloy.bsky.social's Dr. Steven Raman & colleagues followed 86 biopsy-proven tumors a median 76.8 months. doi.org/10.1016/j.jv...
QuickPaste sends Visage measurements to PowerScribe One, speeding oncology reports. @uclaradiology.bsky.social fellow Ethan Zaccagnino heard of it from former resident Julia Gerras. Trainee ties last. When we share ideas between institutions, we all benefit from the information exchange.
In @ijrobp.bsky.social, @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Dr. Whitney Pope & collaborators built 18F0flucicovine PET criteria that flag recurrent brain metastases after radiation, with an SUVmax of 4.8 reaching an AUC of 0.87 (80% sensitivity, 85% specificity). bit.ly/4AfCogj
New from @uclradiology.bsky.social's Drs. Megumi Yokomizo, Ramin Salehi-Rad, Preeti Ahuja, Ashley Prosper, Steven Dubinett, William Hsu, Denise Aberle & collaborators: "Characterization of the cancer-associated field of injury in the nasal epithelium in never-smokers." bit.ly/4hjgCR3
Practical guidance on research pathways, mentorship & academic leadership, free from #thoracicrad on Oct 3. @uclaradiology.bsky.social's Drs. Lea Azour & Dr. Jonathan Goldin join national faculty for short talks & interactive panels. Register at bit.ly/4cfPjVa
Dr. Aarti Luhar was recently named vice chair for quality & she joins Dr. Leah Azour, vice chair for wellness, among the women leading our department. This #WomenInMedicineMonth is a fitting time to recognize their leadership. Congratulations, Dr. Luhar. #WIMM
We're committed to advancing prostate cancer treatment, from standard-of-care options like surgery & radiation to alternatives such as ablative therapies, typing in imaging & image-guided interventions. bit.ly/4rphE1u #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth
This #WomenInMedicineMonth, we're excited to highlight Dr. Jingwen Yao, a scientist advancing neuroimaging. Recently awarded an NIH/NINDS R01 grant, Dr. Yao's work leverages MRI & computational imaging to map the progression of Huntington's disease. #WIMM
More than ever, @uclaradiology.bsky.social is combining AI, bioinformatics, genomics & advancing imaging to predict which prostate cancers are more aggressive & which patients would benefit from active surveillance versus more aggressive treatment. #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth
A standout year for #postdoc Yannan Lin ➡️ Recent honors include UCLA CTSI TL1 postdoctoral fellowship & a runner-up best paper award at the 2026 SPIE Medical Imaging Conference. This #PostdocAppreciationWeek, we are proud to celebrate her work in cancer screening.
Prostate cancer is a very common diagnosis, & the majority can be monitored without aggressive treatment. Talk to your doctor about your personal risk factors & whether screening is appropriate for you. bit.ly/4rphE1u #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth
This #WomenInMedicineMonth, we're proud to spotlight Dr. Jessica Stewart, a nationally recognized interventional radiologist advancing minimally invasive therapies & women's health interventions through practice, research & leadership within the Society of Interventional Radiology.
Happy #PostdocAppreciationWeek! To every postdoctoral researcher at @RadiologyUcla, thank you. Your work drives our research forward, from the lab to the clinic, & the field advances because of the questions you ask and the care you bring to answering them.
Even with a strict ADC threshold, baseline MRI can overestimate ischemic core in acute stroke. In XXX, @uclaradiology.bsky.social researchers & colleagues found this ghost core in 6 of 156 patients (3.8%), all imaged within 120 minutes of onset. doi.org/10.1177/1591...
