It's Nurses Week (May 6-12) and we celebrate with profiles of the nurses of Northwestern's radiology divisions. Amy Spreitzer enjoys the variety of experiences. #NursesWeek #NursesDay #ThankYouNurses

@NURadiology @SIRspecialists Congrats Union Matt!

Congratulations to Matthew Agritelley of Northwestern and all the 2025 SSR Resident Scholars. This merit-based scholarship is granted to 1st and 2nd year radiology residents interested in musculoskeletal radiology. skeletalrad.org/ssr-scholars-p… #SIR25NASH @SIRspecialists

It's like when we were kids and had to go to the one friend who owned a PS2 or Xbox after school to play. Now, we finally have our own gaming consoles🤩🤩@IRWorkhorse @KunalKaraniMD @ptdoodles @rnavuluri @UChicagoIR @TheRealDoctorOs @bostonsci

Congrats and welcome to the family! #Match2025 #irad @UChicagoIR @UChicagoRADS

In March we're featuring our Interventional Radiology and Image-Guided Therapy research. Matthew Anatalek is working on the AI system that will improve liver cancer diagnoses and treatment. #imageguided #interventions #AI

We report our multicenter experience in using either Y90 Radiation Segmentectomy (RS) or Ablative External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) as initial treatment for Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma. doi.org/10.2147/JHC.S5… PURPOSE: Prospective data evaluating RS and EBRT has been challenging to obtain. PATIENTS: Solitary, treatment naïve, HCC ≤ 8 cm. 86 patients (RS [100% glass]: 58; EBRT [43% proton]: 28). EBRT treated older patients (median 76 vs 66 years, p < 0.001), larger tumors (median 3.7 vs 2.4 cm, p < 0.001), and higher ECOG (p = 0.02). RS treated more patients with ≥ grade 3 fibrosis (p < 0.001) and subsequent liver transplant (48% compared to 11%). These disparities prevented a significant matched comparison. TREATMENT: RS = median 638 Gy single compartment MIRD, SA 703 Bq, PD 18,200/cc. EBRT = 50 Gy (range: 39–67.5) and BED 100 Gy (range: 84–100). SBRT 71% (5 fractions), 29% received 15 fractions. OUTCOMES: Censored for liver transplant. mRECIST CR achieved in 97% of RS and 82% of EBRT patients (p = 0.02). Median time to CR was 1 month (95% CI: 0.9–1.1) after RS and 7 months (95% CI: 6–7) after EBRT (p < 0.001). Targeted tumor complete pathologic necrosis in liver transplant patients: RS = 76% and EBRT = 33%. 1-year LC was 97% (RS) and 93% (EBRT) (p = 0.80). 1-year PFS was 87% (RS) and 80% (EBRT) (p = 0.26). 1- and 2-year OS was 88% and 85% (RS) vs 84% and 59% (EBRT) (p = 0.34). CONCLUSION: RS and EBRT are effective for solitary HCC, but used in different patients. Treatment should be determined via multidisciplinary discussion.🧩 @SIRspecialists @SIO_Central @ASTRO_org @AASLD @ESMO @BCLC_group

Check out our latest review on Angio-CT in @JVIRmedia , nice collaboration with @NorthwesternIR kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2… #irad

#Y90 Radiation Segmentectomy has expanded access to curative intent therapy for many patients with early stage #HCC who are not candidates for resection or thermal ablation. 🧩 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you to @UChicagoMed for highlighting our work on GAE as a minimally invasive treatment for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis - hoping this critical study will help place GAE within treatment guidelines 🙏🏽 #irad 🦴 uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/orth…

@ArizonaVIR Is that an esophageal feeding tube placement I see?

Packed house for our first Angio Club of the 24-25 academic year! Great cases, awesome food and fantastic company!

This month we feature our Vascular IR section. Dr. Riad Salem has been instrumental in growing this division over the past two decades. #vascular #IR

New ICD Codes for Lumbar Discogenic Pain. Codes 51.360 to 51.379. This will help with precision in diagnosis, tailored treatment approaches, innovation, and research, and expanded access to advanced therapies. Will also help with improved documentation and communication. #ICD10
