BIDMC VIR Faculty Awarded 2023 Harvard Medical School Shore Fellowships

Congratulations to Dr. Julie Bulman and Dr. Colin McCarthy, Division of Vascular & Interventional Radiology at BIDMC, who have each been awarded a prestigious 2023 Harvard Medical School Shore Fellowship. Dr. Bulman’s work, “Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing in Interventional Radiology,” will use...

Imaging for Risk Assessment

Many decisions that general clinicians need to make daily are based on a risk assessment of different clinical (medical or surgical) interventions relative to the risk of non-intervention. We have a program for developing imaging protocols to better assess risk for patients in several clinical...

Noninvasive MRI Evaluation of Lymphedema

Lymphedema is caused by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial space due to impaired clearance, from congenital causes (primary) or infection, trauma, or medical/surgical treatments (secondary), resulting in (sometimes severe) swelling of the extremities. Visualization and...

Studying Cancer Metabolism In Vivo with Hyperpolarized MRI

Hyperpolarization is a technology for aligning, or polarizing, the nuclear spins in a contrast agent or metabolic tracer. Agents prepared this way can dramatically enhance nuclear magnetization and, as a result, produce MR signals up to 100,000 times stronger versus conventional imaging. This makes...
