Join host Geoffrey Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, for an engaging conversation with Mary H. Scanlon, MD, FACR, Professor of Clinical Radiology, Vice Chair of Education, and Director of Emergency Radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. A long-time residency program director and past president of the Association of Program Directors in Radiology (APDR), Dr. Scanlon reflects on her inspiring journey—from growing up around horses and a veterinary clinics on the Philadelphia Main Line to becoming a fierce advocate for resident well-being and educational innovation. In this episode, Dr. Scanlon opens up about managing dyslexia, overcoming challenges as one of the few women in her residency class, pioneering MRI interpretation at Albert Einstein Medical Center, and her eventual transition to leadership roles at the VA and Penn. A candid and compelling storyteller, she shares how she supports residents through life's most difficult moments, how she's preparing the next generation for the era of AI, and how even something as simple as asking about dentist appointments has become part of her whole-person approach to residency leadership Don't miss this inspiring conversation with a leader who's as fiercely committed to patient care and education as she is to authenticity and resilience. Behind the mic: When choosing her career path, Dr. Scanlon was considering either a chief or doctor, and she chose doctor because she thought the hours would be better. She's not sure that panned out well! Outside of work, Dr. Scanlon loves Este a Greek restaurant, which serves her favorite grill fish and langoustines. She has a fabulous disabled dog, Auggie the Doggie, who has congenital cerebellar ataxia. He doesn't walk, he rolls from place to place and needs to be carried! She loves his great spirit—he falls down and gets right back up! Dr. Scanlon loves to boat on the Chesapeake or Penns Landing when the weather is nice. On rainy days, she likes to make a fire and binge watch Oscar movies. Still to do on her bucket list is to sail around the Greek Islands.

She completed a residency in Diagnostic Radiology at University of Tennessee - Knoxville, where she served as Chief Resident, and a fellowship in Musculoskeletal Imaging at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). In 2021, Dr. Shechtel joined VUMC faculty as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology in the Musculoskeletal Radiology section. She is a member of the Radiological Society of North America, American Roentgen Ray Society, American College of Radiology, Tennessee Medical Association and Nashville Academy of Medicine. Dr. Shechtel's clinical interests include MRI safety, quality improvement and resident education. Dr. Shechtel main area of expertise is sarcomas as it pertains to MSK Diagnostic Imaging. Sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the bones and soft tissues, including fat, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, deep skin tissues and fibrous tissues. There are many risk factors for sarcomas. History of radiation therapy, genetic predisposition and chemical exposure. Imaging properties include size, adjacent tissue differences, infiltrating and contrast enhancement. She was first introduced to the importance of MRI safety by Dr. Peter Petruzzi, MRMD during her residency. She credits Dr. Shellock for her choice to later become a board member of ABMRS.Many factors to consider for sarcoma imaging. coils, image planes, patient positioning, FOV, phase direction, technique, sequence selection etc. Dr. Shechtel doesn't have a preference in field strength if imaging quality isn't compromised. Duplicating a prior study is also a consideration and should be the goal absent of contraindication. High resolution imaging is her preference over small FOV imaging if forced to decide between the two. She stresses the importance of Surgeon preference consideration with joint-to-joint imaging. Prothesis may be in that patient's course of care. Large FOV imaging allows for pre-op measurements as well as visualization of skip lesions. We always love it when our guests come prepared with helpful visual aids. Dr. Shechtel brings imaging examples which help illustrate her case in point. It was a joy spending with someone of Dr. Shechtel's caliber.

Research imaging studies, including MRI and CT scans, may provide different information than the imaging performed for clinical care. For instance, a liver MRI using research sequences could be more sensitive at detecting tumors than a standard study. As a result, a patient might no longer qualify for surgery according to the research study. However, information derived from research sequences may not be clinically accurate. Hence the need to conduct a thorough investigation and compare against a gold standard (e.g. a surgical result). Kathryn Fowler, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology at UC San Diego discuses the ethics of patients and physicians being made aware of research results if they are not verifiably accurate.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let's rewind to a chat that I had with my dear friend (and Professor of Clinical Radiology at LSU Health New Orleans) Dr. Brooke Morell. - - I learned SOOOOOOO much! Because I am not yet the recommended age to start receiving annual mammograms, I had no clue what the process was like, nor was I aware of the next steps if there were to be abnormal findings. I personally know several breast cancer survivors and 4 of them are under the suggested screening age of 40. So how do we protect and early detect before then? We discussed this and so much more! Like: how do breast implants impact your risks for breast cancer, if at all? We discussed breast cancer in men, and the many misconceptions about breast cancer. - - Plus we talked about Dr. Morell's journey to becoming one of very few women, let alone women of color, in the field of radiology. She is making a difference in this world and in women's health and I am so proud to call her a friend of mine. • • • Let's continue the conversation online and don't forget to subscribe, rate, review and share!

Is it a pulled muscle, or a vertebral compression fracture? Vertebral compression fractures can sometimes be painless, but are still a significant risk to overall health. So how do we diagnose and treat something we may not even know we have? In this episode, Dr. Douglas P. Beall, Chief of Radiology Services at Clinical Radiology of Oklahoma, sits down with NOF CEO, Elizabeth Thompson to discuss.
On this episode we discuss the recent controversy regarding an article showing increased risk of death following application of paclitaxel‐coated devices, Palliative Interventional Radiology and increasing need for clinical radiology, and the debate regarding USMLE testing.

Between 2007 and 2010 more than 50 patients with spontaneous dissections of cervical arteries have been examined and scanned with a modified cervical MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose (18F) PET CT protocol at the Institute of Clinical Radiology, LMU Munich. Within this prospective, mono-centric study all imaging data was obtained by using a 3.0 tesla scanner (Magnetom Verio; Siemens Healthcare) and two PET CT scanners (Philips Gemini; Philips Healthcare and Siemens Biograph 64; Siemens Healthcare). This study was based on and conducted by a strong cooperation between the Department of Neurology and the Department of Nuclear Medicine. Detailed data sets regarding patient history and clinical parameters were recorded for every patient. The MRI protocol included a time-of-flight angiography, fat-saturated T1- and T2- weighted black-blood sequences before and after the administration of contrast medium (Gadovist®, Bayer-Schering). The scans covered the supra-aortic vessels from the aortic arch to the base of the skull with a best in plane resolution of 0.5 x 0.5 mm2. Every patient received an additional diffusion-weighted brain-MRI for evaluation of ischemia. The supra-aortic vessels of the same patients were also scanned by a low dose FDG/PET-CT. Measurements of standardized uptake values for every vessel segment were obtained after the administration of the tracer (activity: 5 MBq/kg bodyweight). The calculated effective dose was 8 mSv per patient. Along with quantitative PET-CT analysis, experienced radiologists performed qualitative evaluation of vessel wall inflammation for PET-CT and the MR images. Local inflammatory changes at the site of dissection were distinguished from generalized inflammation of the vascular system.
