Abstract
Whatever our
expertise or affiliation, we have all
experienced intense scrutiny. With or
without established track records, we must
“prove ourselves up.” We earn our place
at the table with each new assignment,
project or interaction. In order to make
an impact and get what we want and need,
we must plan for five key negotiating
challenges – gather intelligence, seek the
backing of key players, know the resources
available, get buy-in, then visibly make a
difference.

"Building a New
Pillar in your Cancer Center:
Interventional Palliative Care"
PRESENTER:
Sean M Tutton, MD,
FSIR
Professor and
Division Head, Vascular and Interventional
Radiology
Medical College of
Wisconsin
Abstract
Palliative Care is
increasingly recognized as fundamental
service in the comprehensive care of
cancer and chronic life-threatening
diseases. The field of Hospice and
Palliative Care has experienced rapid
growth in the last decade as medicine and
society recognize the need for symptom
management, focused care of the
chronically ill and dying patient, and a
dignified death. Minimally invasive
interventional therapies offer a
significant opportunity in reducing common
symptoms of pain, nausea, vomiting,
shortness of breath, visceral obstruction
in these patients.
Radiologists and
Interventionalists can play a key role by
partnering with palliative care in raising
awareness of, and providing cost-effective
image guided palliative therapies. At MCW,
we have formed a long-standing partnership
with our palliative care team and have
seen a steady growth in the therapies
provided. Interventional Palliative
Care now represents a distinct and branded
service in our cancer center seeing
patients in clinic, providing nerve blocks
and ablations, tumor ablations, drainage
and venting tubes, vertebral augmentation,
and osteoplasty. We are one of few
institutions to offer hybrid orthopedic
stabilization and fixation procedures in
pelvic metastasis patients. These services
and procedures will be reviewed. We have
incorporated formal palliative care
rotations for our trainees, and lectures
in Palliative care and IR, respectively,
which have been a differentiator in our
ability to recruit trainees and faculty.
The creation of a
dedicated Palliative IR service with
Intentional fellow training,
collaboration, and faculty expertise have
resulted in a robust service, significant
revenue growth, and Cancer Center
recognition.

will be reviewed emphasizing their
appearance using MR imaging. The collagen
framework of the articular cartilage will
be highlighted in an attempt to explain
how traumatic loading of the chondral
surface leads to forces that are
transmitted to the subchondral bone plate
and subjacent bone. Wolff’s law will also
be detailed. Precise definitions will be
introduced for such entities as chondral
delamination, chondral flaps, chondral and
bone fragments, chondral defects,
chondral fractures, bone contusions,
osteochondral fractures, and subchondral
fractures.

- Goldberg Auditorium
Co-presenters:
Paul Murphy, MD,

Radiology
Julie Bykowski, MD
Professor, Department
of Radiology, UC San Diego Radiology
Objectives:
- Orient Radiology
clinical faculty and trainees to Tableau
and dashboards currently being developed
based on imaging data
- Use of case
examples to review issues around data
extraction, data display, and
interpretation
- Discuss other
metrics/measures for future dashboard
development and goals of
tracking/displaying that information
Abstract:
Data is collected
about all parts of the Radiology process,
from study order through payment, and
extracted in different ways to measure
performance, identify problems, and
provide context for decisions around
staffing, growth, compensation and work
expectations. While academic Radiologists
are often well versed in interpreting
clinical data and scientific reports,
there is often a lack of instruction and
understanding about the analysis and
interpretation of data about their actual
practice. UCSD has migrated to Tableau for
a variety of dashboards to allow summary
display and drill-down ability, and the
Radiology department has started to
develop Radiology-specific reports. This
session orients the faculty and housestaff
to dashboards in development with examples
including turnaround time, report
authorship (faculty independent vs
supervising trainee), and order
realization (ordered vs performed) as well
as awareness on data points being
collected about Radiology. The goals
include faculty and trainees being able to
understand and effectively communicate
limitations of dashboards, and broader
engagement regarding areas for future data
display.
Priti Balchandani,
PhD from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount
Sinai is visiting San Diego and will
deliver an outstanding lecture on the
future of 7T for Radiology, Thursday,
August 15.
Lecture:
Ultrahigh Field (7T)
Multi-Modal Brain Imaging for Surgical
Treatment
Thursday,
August 15
5:30 PM
ACTRI Auditorium
Presented by:
Priti Balchandani,
PhD
Associate Professor,
Radiology and Neuroscience
Director of Advanced
Neuroimaging Research
Translational and
Molecular Imaging Institute
Icahn School of
Medicine at Mount Sinai
Abstract
There is surprisingly
low adoption of high-resolution,
multi-modal neuroimaging in the operating
room. It is necessary to bridge the gap
between advanced imaging and surgical
care. This talk will focus on two examples
for which more advanced MRI, employing
multiple modalities and ultrahigh field
(7T) MRI scanners, could substantially
improve planning and guidance of surgery:
epilepsy and tumors of the skull base. In
epilepsy, invasive methods are currently
used to identify abnormal areas of the
brain for surgical targeting, when these
could be replaced with improved,
non-invasive MRI techniques to reveal
subtle focal abnormalities and lesion
boundaries. For tumors of the skull base,
patients may be candidates for less
invasive surgical methods such as
endoscopic endonasal approaches, however
high resolution MRI is critical to provide
clear visualization of adjacent or encased
vessels and nerves, in order to avoid
complications. Application to other skull
base pathologies such as trigeminal
neuralgia will also be briefly discussed.

of ANRP is to develop novel imaging
technologies and apply them to diagnosis,
treatment and surgical planning for a wide
range of diseases, including epilepsy,
brain tumors, psychiatric illnesses,
multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury.
For her primary research, Dr. Balchandani
leads a team of scientists to devise
creative engineering methods to overcome
some of the main limitations of magnetic
resonance imaging at high magnetic fields,
thereby enabling high‐resolution

contrast mechanisms and sources of signal.
These techniques are ultimately applied to
improve diagnosis, treatment and surgical
planning for a wide range of neurological
diseases and disorders. Some clinical
areas of focus for Dr. Balchandani’s team
are: improved localization of
epileptogenic foci; imaging to reveal the
neurobiology of depression; and
development of imaging methods to better
guide neurosurgical resection of brain
tumors. Dr. Balchandani received her BASc

" The Evolving Role
of the Interventional Radiologist in the
Treatment of The Obese Patient"
Presented by:
Clifford R. Weiss,
MD FSIR
Medical Director,
Center for Bioengineering Innovation and
Design
Associate Professor,
Department of Radiology and Radiological
Science, Surgery and Biomedical
Engineering
Director of
Interventional Radiology Research
Johns Hopkins
University
Abstract:
The number of people
classified as obese, defined by the World
Health Organization as having a body mass
index ≥30, has been rising since the
1980s. Obesity is associated with
comorbidities such as hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty
liver disease. The current treatment
paradigm emphasizes lifestyle
modifications, including diet and
exercise; however this approach produces
only modest weight loss for many patients.
When lifestyle modifications fail, the
current "gold standard" therapy for
obesity is bariatric surgery, including
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve
gastrectomy, duodenal switch, and
placement of an adjustable gastric band.
Though effective, bariatric surgery can
have severe short- and long-term
complications, and is not performed is
most patients. To fill the major gap in
invasiveness between lifestyle
modification and surgery, patients can now
receive a host of pharmacotherapies and
minimally invasive endoscopic techniques
to treat obesity. Recently, interventional
radiologists have also gained the
potential to treat these patients using
minimally invasive image guided
techniques. These have great
promise, and may prove to be another tool
in the toolbelt used to treat the obese
patient.
Learning
Objective:
Understand the impact
of the obesity epidemic on patients and
healthcare systems Understand the variety
of therapies that are available to the
obese patient Understand Interventional
Radiology’s potential role in the
treatment of the obese patient

Abstract:
Health care spending
in US projected to reach $4.2 trillion by
2016 (CDC, 2011), with 70-90% of all
health care costs stemming from
preventable lifestyle-related diseases. It
is estimated that 80% of all heart
disease, type 2 DM, and stroke could be
prevented if Americans engaged in more
physical activity, stopped smoking,
maintained healthier diet (CDC, 2011).
Regular physical activity clearly reduces
the risk of cardiometabolic disease,
numerous cancers, enhancing bone health,
muscle strength and mental health (USDHHS,
2008). However, most Americans, including
physicians, are often physically inactive
throughout the work day. Physical
inactivity is the major public health
problem of our time, however most
physicians fail to even mention exercise
to their patients. This talk summarizes
the harmful effects of physical inactivity
& the current barriers to physical
activity counseling, and provides
clinicians the tools to properly perform
risk stratification, evaluate fitness
level, and provide an exercise
prescription.
