10THE SCANNER

Should you be interested in the MRI Heroes Kit, please contact your local Siemens representative.

In the USA we offer an MRI Heroes Kit to support pediatric imaging: Each MRI Heroes Kit includes an educational DVD; a mini-model of a Siemens MRI scanner; 100 copies of an educational Marvel Custom Solutions comic book featuring popular characters Captain America and Iron Man; 100 hero-themed capes; and 100 Captain America and Iron Man plush toys.

The educational video walks the patient through the process of an MRI exam via the experiences of a 10-year-old* girl who recently received a scan, detailing what pediatric patients and their parents can expect from the procedure. The video can be shown to patients and their parents on the facilitys website as well as in the waiting room to help the child prepare for the exam.

The mini-model of a Siemens MRI system can be positioned in the hospitals play area and used by hospital staff to further educate children on the imaging process.

The Marvel Custom Solutions comic book explains an MR exam via an action-packed, visually compelling story and can be read to children by their parents or read by the child during a hospital visit.

The plush toy, which the young patient can hold during the exam, provides a fun way for hospital staff to reference the comic book storyline and interact with the child. The hero cape can be given to the child as a reward for completing the scan.

MRI Heroes Kit

WIP, the product is currently under development and is not for sale in the US and in other countries. Its future availability cannot be ensured.

In 1986, the New Horizons Lecture explored Lymphoma, Melanoma, Colon Cancer: Diagnosis and Treatment with Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibodies. Ten years later, the New Horizons audience was learning about Image-Guided Procedures and the Operating Room of the Future. This years lecture is Future of Ultrasound, by Jonathan M. Rubin, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Michigan, who will examine ways to dramatically expand the applications and usefulness of ultrasound through elasticity imaging, volume flow estimation and the use of new contrast agents.

Radiation Oncology Oration is Newest Addition The youngest of the regular plenary lectures, the Annual Oration in Radiation Oncology (formerly the Erskine Memorial Lecture) began in 1976, when Henry S. Kaplan, M.D., of Stanford University spoke on Hodgkins Disease: Multidisciplinary Contributions to the Conquest of Neoplasm. Dr. Kaplan pio-neered the use of radiation in the treatment of Hodgkins, which had previously been a death sentence but was well on the way to being curable by the mid-1970s with a combination of radiation and chemotherapy. In his talk, Dr. Kaplan noted that many of the patients from his first clinical study at Stanford (1953 to 1962) were still alive and relapse-free, and those who died of other causes were free of Hodgkins. Thus, it is now possible to state with conviction that Hodgkins disease can indeed be permanently cured, he said in his conclusion.

Other presenters of the radiation oncology oration have looked at varied topics, such as chemoirradiation (1991), linking diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine to fight cancer at the molecular level (2002), and managing carcinoma of the prostate under impending healthcare reform (or at least, what seemed to be impending in 1994). This years radiation oncology lecture will be Error Bars in Medical Imaging: Stealth and Treacherous, a discussion of the ways that 3D imaging (CT, PET and MR) can both help and hinder effective radiation therapy. Speaker Lawrence B. Marks, M.D., chair of radiation oncology at the University of North Carolina, will discuss the inherent limitations of medical images when applied to radiation therapy and the danger of introducing errors by the way imaging findings are reported.

Every radiologist who can possibly do so should plan to attend, Manly J. Sandborn, M.D., wrote in Radiology in 1926, in advance of that years annual meeting in Kansas City. Dr. Sandborn would go on to serve RSNA as president in 1926. [Every radiologist] should plan on attending every session and every exhibit and the banquet. [A radiologists] clientele will appreciate [their physician] spending the time and money necessary to attend this meeting, for they know that it means better service for them on his return. While Dr. Sandborns remarks were published a few years before the establishment of the annual lectures, they immediately became part of the vital annual meeting content he described.

foundation, the RSNA Board of Directors hoped that in time the return on investment would be significant, he added. As evidence of success, for every $1 the Foundation has awarded, grantees subsequently have obtained $40 of funding from other foundations and agencies, Dr. Campbell said. An unanticipated, but most gratifying, dividend from the Foundation has been the recent appointment of many former grantees as chairmen and section chiefs of academic radiology departments. Now, as he did 25 years ago, Dr. Campbell emphasized how RSNA has wisely shifted the focus of its annual meeting from a concentration of presentations from North America to more international involvement, to encourage wide dissemina-tion of important radiological information yearly at an easily accessible location. Continued development of respected relationships with technical exhibitors, whom he deemed colleagues in commerce, has also been vital, Dr. Campbell said. Also important to rememberin 1939, 1964, 1989 and 2014, and every year in betweenhas been the power of a small, voluntary, apolitical, elected RSNA Board of Directors, Dr. Campbell noted. Throughout history these boards, which have attracted the leaders in radiology who support and enhance the goals of RSNA, paved the way for years to come, he said. For the future leaders of RSNA, the legacy of commitment fostered by former leaders should give you strength to face the responsibilities ahead, Dr. Campbell said in his presidents address. The future of your Society is bright; the horizons for growth and progress appear unlimited.
