#radiology case report by Drs Mistry, Moulton & neurosurgery/pathology on a man with clinical pattern of acute spinal cord injury. Emergent #MRI showed a nearly isointense non-enhancing large cervical schwannoma, #spinalcord compression & assoc subarachnoid hemorrhage. #neurorad

Congrats to Omer, Hasan, Masoom, Daniel, Wara, Adam, Saman, Myles, James, Michaela, Matt & Ali on receiving “Presentation Efficiency Awards” at our #radiology #research day. A $10 Tim’s card for keeping presentations below 5 min length. Because longer presentations aren’t better.

And that’s a wrap! 2025 research day was on Friday. Good science and presentations of #radres & #medstudent projects on varied topics. Thanks to Dr Yong-Hing for joining us as guest and Dr Scott Adams for helping judge projects. #radiology #radiologyresearch

#TBT to a 2010 paper by Dr Burbridge & #medstudent A Jack on Canadian #medschool use of #radiology in teaching #anatomy. 13/14 schools responded. 69% rated #Cadaver dissection as most important. #Xray, #CT, or #MRI were used in 92% of schools with variable levels of use. #meded

Drs Fladeland & Karjala were part of 7-site study showing individual findings (CT honeycombing or traction bronchiectasis extent & PA size as neg predictors w subpleural sparing as protective) as more predictive of survival than defined radiology patterns in fibrotic #ILD. #lung

Pics from the year end party after research day. We’re privileged to have such a great group of residents, radiologists, and support staff in our department. Proud to be part of this group! #radiology #radres #residency (post 2 of 2)

It’s #Research Day! Looking forward to excellent presentations on many exciting projects by med students and #radiology residents! Thanks to Dr C Yong-Hing for being a distinguished guest and delivering a keynote talk. #medstudent #radresident #radiologyresearch

Thank you to Dr Charlotte Yong-Hing from @UBC for joining us a visiting professor and giving grand rounds on “mid career challenges and opportunities”.

A problem with humpbacks. New paper by S Abidi, M Shepel, H Obaid & colleagues evaluated 84 cases of #scaphoid #s with long term follow-up. #Humpback deformity showed significant assoc w nonunion (p=0.001) and nonsignificant assoc with #AVN (p=0.067). #radiology #FOAMrad #MSKrad

Research day is nigh. 9 days to be precise.  Looking forward to the 16 presentations by med students and residents on varied topics. And thank you to Dr Charlotte Yong-Hing for joining us as a guest and keynote speaker!  #radiology #medstudent #radres #formrad #radiologyresearch

How does #AI compare with traditional models for identifying future risk of #lungcancer in individuals? A review & metanalysis by Dr Adams & #medstudent S Leonard & M Patel found better performance of AI than traditional models, especially when including imaging data. #radiology

Our research day is on June 13th.  What could go wrong on a Friday the 13th?   Residents, medical students or local researchers who have done research in our department are invited to submit abstracts for presentation by Friday April 23, 2025. #research #radiology #radres

Some of the projects discussed at our #radresident #research roundtable discussions this week. Twice per year we meet to discuss project design, progress, and plans. Always interesting discussions on many variable topics. #radiology  #FOAMRad
