Led by UNC School of Medicine’s Weili Lin, PhD, researchers document cognitive milestones revealed in children from birth to toddlerhood in brain imaging study.

Two new models, developed by Li Wang, PhD, associate professor of radiology in the UNC School of Medicine, can produce more accurate and reliable analysis of brain structures, which is critical for early detection, medical diagnosis, and neurological research.

In this new Vital Signs series, we feature graduate student Katherine Eltz in the Papadopoulou lab. Combining her passions in marine biology and biomedical engineering, Eltz studies the physiology of decompression sickness in scuba divers, astronauts, and sea turtles using ultrasound imaging techniques.

Brooke Matson, Jeremy Meier, Brittany Raffa, and Shivani Sud will receive support from the UNC School of Medicine Physician Scientists Training Program to cultivate their careers as translational clinical scientists.

A landmark study, led by Yen-Yu Ian Shih, PhD, professor of neurology and associate director of UNC’s Biomedical Research Imaging Center, could alter how researchers interpret results from functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Under the direction of assistant professor of radiology Li-Ming Hsu, the research demonstrates how long-term cocaine use affects brain functions, making recovery and stifling cravings more difficult.

Researchers from the UNC School of Medicine, led by Ian Shih, PhD, Professor and Vice Chair of Neurology and Associate Director of the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, revealed the role of the insular cortex in controlling the Default Mode Brain Network.

Led by Pew-Thian Yap, PhD, researchers at the UNC School of Medicine created monthly infant brain atlases to help researchers analyze the developing brain to investigate neurological disorders and other conditions.

Led by UNC School of Medicine’s Weili Lin, PhD, researchers documented significant decrease in neural flexibility across the entire brain of children with ADHD and throughout sub-networks considered crucial to cognitive flexibility.

Todd Hazelton, MD, has been named chief of the Department of Radiology's Division of Thoracic Imaging. His first day in the role will be May 31, and he joins the department from the University of South Florida where he most recently served as chair of the Department of Radiology.

Shortage in the U.S. supply of contrast media used heavily in interventional radiology is driving changes in hospital practices. A group of Physicians led by Nicole Keefe, MD, Assistant Professor, Gloria Salazar, MD, Chief of Vascular-Interventional Radiology, and Maureen Kohi, MD, Chair of the Department of Radiology, say they adapted quickly and offered their strategy during the shortage.

Towards the end of April, a global shortage of iodinated contrast media began. UNC Radiology worked collaboratively with leaders from other departments to quickly conserve existing supplies, reduce waste, and triage patients to continue to provide clinical excellence.
