The International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
(ISMRM) Editorial Review Board has selected Candace Howard-Claudio,
MD, PhD as the seventh recipient of the ISMRM/GE Healthcare MRI
Fellowship. This fellowship was funded by a grant from GE
Healthcare and is administered by
Applied Radiology.
The ISMRM/GE Healthcare MRI Fellowship Program is designed to
provide an educational opportunity to radiology residents in the
United States. Residents were nominated by the directors of their
residency programs and were funded to attend the 12th Scientific
Meeting & Exhibition of the ISMRM in May 2004 in Kyoto, Japan.
These residents were assigned topics by the ISMRM Editorial Review
Board and were asked to write current review articles focusing on
specific MRI applications, based on material from the ISMRM annual
meeting and published literature.
This year's winner, Dr. Howard-Claudio, is a Resident at Thomas
Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, PA. This supplement,
The Residents' Forum,
includes Dr. Howard-Claudio's article entitled, "MRI Methods for
the Detection of Angiogenesis," as well as the nine excellent
manuscripts submitted by the other resident applicants.
Dr. Howard-Claudio has written an excellent article on a very
timely topic. She and the other residents have provided superb
contributions to this supplement. The ISMRM is delighted to be a
cosponsor of this program with GE Healthcare and
Applied Radiology.
