Topic: 

Contrast Echocardiography

Presented by: 

Anthony N. DeMaria, M.D.

Professor, Department of Medicine

Judith and Jack White Chair in Cardiology

Founding Director, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center

Associate Dean, Outreach and External Relations

UC San Diego

Time:

7 AM – 8 AM

Location:

ACTRI Auditorium

Learning Objectives:

a)            Understand the composition of contrast agents

b)            Know the role of contrast echo for left ventricular opacification and other applications

c)            Know the current status of myocardial opacification

Abstract:

Contrast echocardiography refers to the opacification of the heart and central circulation by virtue of the injection of microbubble containing fluids.  The contrast agents utilized for this purpose must pass the lungs prior to dissolving, and therefore, require a robust shell and a high density gas.  The primary application of contrast echocardiography is to opacify the left ventricle so as to enable identification of the endocardium for assessment of left ventricular volumes and function.  However, additional applications of contrast echocardiography include the identification of cardiac masses, the diagnosis of non-compaction cardiomyopathy, and the differentiation of cardiac tumors from cardiac thrombi.  Injection of contrast agents is also capable of opacifying the myocardium itself when imaged in a specific fashion.  This technique has thus far been utilized to identify coronary disease as well as to indicate viable or non-viable myocardium.

Neuronal Activity and Neuroenergetics with and without Cerebral Blood Flow

Speaker:        Anna Devor, Ph.D.  
                        Associate professor of neurosciences and radiology, UCSD
                        Martinos faculty, Mass General Hospital

Date & Time: Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 9 am (after Dr Horowitz’s Cardiac MRI lecture 8-9, and Dr Demaria’s Grand Rounds Contrast Echocardiography lecture 7-8 am)

Location: ACTRI auditorium (or via Zoom: https://uchealth.zoom.us/my/radres)

Abstract: Neurons in the brain rely on blood vessels for supply of oxygen and glucose. An increase in neuronal activity normally leads to vasodilation increasing cerebral blood flow (CBF), so that supply meets demand. Dilation is driven by multiple mechanisms emphasizing its importance for healthy brain function. Vasoactive messengers are released by different types of neurons and possibly glia. In addition, blood vessels are endowed with an array of ion channels that propagate the signal along their walls ensuring “upstream” dilation magnifying the CBF response. On the macroscopic scale, these processes can be detected noninvasively using Blood Oxygen Level Dependent functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (BOLD fMRI).

But what happens to the oxygen and glucose?According to standard textbooks, brain’s energy is produced mostly by the oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water. This notion is based on observations that cortical neuronal activity is lost within ~15 seconds of CBF interruption. A paradox that challenges this paradigm comes from Positron Emission Tomography studies, where glucose consumption was shown to exceed the oxygen consumption predicted by the stoichiometry of complete aerobic oxidation.

Most of the brain’s gray matter energy is used to restore neuronal membrane potential that involves moving ions across against their concentration gradients. Therefore, we asked whether the ability of neurons to repolarize was lost within seconds of CBF interruption. Cortical neurons in the mouse brain, when repeatedly depolarized via light-controlled ion channels, continued to restore their membrane potential for over 20 minutes after a cardiac arrest. This observation suggests that neurons can utilize oxygen-independent mechanisms such as glycolysis, possibly not only upon asphyxia but also under normal physiological conditions.

Topic: 

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Presented by: 

Andrew Picel, MD

Associate Professor of Radiology

Department of Radiology, UC San Diego

Abstract:

Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition in the aging population resulting in bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and decreased quality of life. Transurethral resection of the prostate is considered the gold-standard surgery for treatment but several minimally invasive surgical treatments are also offered. Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is emerging as an effective treatment option with few reported side-effects, minimal blood loss, and infrequent hospitalization. Proper patient selection and meticulous embolization is critical to optimize results. To safely perform PAE and avoid non-target embolization, interventionalists must have a detailed understanding of pelvic arterial anatomy. While the prostate arteries often arise from the internal pudendal arteries, several anatomic variants and pelvic anastomoses will be encountered. Prospective cohort studies, small randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses demonstrate improved symptoms after treatment with rare serious side-effects.

Objectives:

1. Review the clinical evaluation and treatment options for patients with BPH.

2. Learn the pelvic anatomy relevant to PAE and review the PAE technique.

3. Present PAE results at UC San Diego.

4. Discuss the published results of PAE studies for symptomatic BPH.

“Sheep in Wolves’ Clothing - Benign diagnoses suspected as cancer”

Presented by: 

Steven C. Eberhardt, M.D.

Professor and Vice Chair of Clinical Operations

Chief, Abdominal and Oncology Radiology

University of New Mexico Department of Radiology

UNM Health Sciences Center

Time:

7 AM – 8 AM

Location:

Moores Cancer Center, Goldberg Auditorium

Abstract:
When patients without existing cancer diagnoses present with abdominal or pelvic masses, malignant neoplasms are frequently in the differential diagnosis and are of foremost concern. There are a host of nonmalignant masses that may be considered in the differentials for masses of the abdomen and pelvis, some of which can be diagnosed confidently by imaging, and others not. In addition, in patients with preexisting cancer diagnoses, imaging surveys in follow up can yield lesions suspect for recurrence or metastases but that are also benign. This lecture aims to provide guidance on avoiding misdiagnosis of benign lesions in these settings, but will acknowledge that our best imaging efforts will not prevent surgical exploration or biopsy in all cases of benign lesions.

Objectives:
-Learn benign diagnoses that mimic cancer on imaging studies

-Learn tips on how to correctly diagnose benign lesions that may be suspect for cancer

Imaging Pain: Pinpointing location of pain generation using PET/MRI

Presented by: 

Sandip Biswal MD

Associate Professor of Radiology

Co-Section Chief, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging

Director, Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship

Member, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) and Bio-X

Department of Radiology

Stanford University School of Medicine

Time:

7 AM – 8 AM

Location:

Moores Cancer Center, Goldberg Auditorium

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity participants will be able to:

1)            Identify the challenges of current conventional imaging approaches in diagnosing

peripheral pain generators.

2)            Discuss the basis for identifying specific molecular and cellular biomarkers of pain and

                How these biomarkers can be exploited with molecular and cellular imaging techniques.

3)            Demonstrate how clinical PET/MR or advanced MRI approaches in identifying pain

                generators and how they can improve outcomes in patients suffering from chronic pain.

Abstract:

Chronic pain is now the most prevalent disease in the world outnumbering those suffering from cancer, heart disease and diabetes combined. Current methods to diagnose pain generators, such as conventional MR imaging approaches and electrodiagnostics, lack sensitivity and specificity in accurately identifying the source of one's pain. The lack of an accurate method to localize pain generators invariably leads to inadequate treatments, poor outcomes and unnecessary surgeries.

The goal of this session is to describe new clinical molecular imaging and emerging molecular/cellular imaging methods to more objectively localize chronic pain generators/drivers so that we may more intelligently act upon the cause in a pain sufferer. Successful imaging of pain relies heavily upon a multidisciplinary effort that includes expertise from of a number of scientists and clinicians in the fields of synthetic chemistry, radiochemistry, magnetic resonance physics/engineering, molecular pain neurobiology, clinical pain, imaging sciences, surgery, neurology, radiology and others. The results of such collaborations have resulted in several clinical and emerging pre-clinical approaches in positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These imaging methods will demonstrate how the site of increased nociceptive or inflammatory activity can potentially be used to more accurately identify and localize pain generators, and how this approach is preliminarily benefitting patients with chronic pain.

Abstract;

Financial advisors are more concerned with not losing you money than making you money.  Many aren’t required to keep your interests above theirs.  Many are not the sharpest tools in the shed, and almost none have made themselves wealthy.  Warren Buffet is not a financial advisor, and disagrees with most of what they say.  Also, they try to make things complicated so you think you need them, when you don’t.

Objectives;

1. Explain why financial advisors don’t give good advice
2. Explain the advice they should be giving

Upcoming Grand Rounds – please note that we have an open spot on December 18, as Dr Ix asked to be rescheduled.

Strengthening EQUALITY, Equanimity and Diversity at UC San Diego

Presented by: 

Alexander Norbash, MD, MS

Associate Vice-Chancellor for Diversity

Professor and Chair of Radiology

UC San Diego

&

Brendon Bagley, MD

Resident Physician

UC San Diego

Abstract;

At a broad societal level there has been increased conspicuity and visibility regarding anti-bias initiatives directed at gender and racial inequities, respectively such as Me Too and Black Lives Matter. In seeking to effectively understand the current state of bias and climate in UCSD Radiology, it may be of value to understand the historical framework at UCSD, in addition to current and planned efforts intended to address the same. In understanding and addressing inequities in the local environment, it is helpful to better understand examples of microaggressions, while simultaneously considering specific bias interrupters that can be utilized to address marginal comments and expressed sentiments.   

Objectives;

1.            Understand the current state of diversity and inclusion as it affects UCSD Radiology

2.            Realize efforts currently underway and being formulated in UCSD and UCSD Health to favorably address diversity and inclusion

3.            Recognize a representative range of microaggressions that contribute to biased environments, in addition to specific and concrete examples of bias interrupters that can be used to address inappropriate comments

Upcoming Grand Rounds – please note that we have an open spot on August 7^th, as Dr DeMaria asked to be rescheduled.
