As a matter <strong>of</strong>fact, our external reviewers referred to ourdepartment’s rapid change over the last 18months as “vibrant” and noted that we havean “engaged faculty and a commitment tohigh quality clinical service, innovation inresearch, and excellence in education.” Westill have much to be done and I feel we areon the right path to further success.The next few months brings us much more transition as wewelcome new colleagues at all levels and introduce technologicaladvances that will position us with the other medical areas. As were-energize over the summer, I want to emphasize the importance<strong>of</strong> your work and input, which has resulted in all our accomplishmentsand advancements thus far. We have been able to recruittop scholars, researchers and others who bring a lot <strong>of</strong> experience,skills and knowledge to our great team. Thank you very much.Go Philips, Go!by Balazs Lengyel, M.D., Chief <strong>of</strong> Imaging InformaticsThe Department <strong>of</strong> Medical Imaging witnessed the successful completion<strong>of</strong> the PACS project when the Philips IntelliSpace project went live onApril 12th.The benefit <strong>of</strong> the Philips PACSsystem is that it enables our radiologiststo fully integrate all departmentsand all imaging data into one cohesivesingle system, thereby making“everything that’s image” accessibleat the push <strong>of</strong> a button. The PhilipsPACS System <strong>of</strong>fers enterprise wide,inter-departmental collaboration likeA screenshot from Philips PACS system. never before. Whether it is radiology,cardiology or ophthalmology, the systemlinks all departments and all divisions within those departments.(Continued on page 2)Another Philips PACS system screenshot..Page 1


Page 2Go Philips, Go! by Balazs Lengyel, M.D. (Continued from page 1)An added capability <strong>of</strong> the PACS system is that itenables us to reach out to external referring physicians.We can import studies directly into PACS, allowing thepatient’s images to arrive at the physician’s <strong>of</strong>fice longbefore the patient gets there.The PACS system gives a timeline for each imageand has the capacity to migrate images from the olderFUJI system; effectively accessing the images withinseconds. This gives us the capability to access virtuallyall images - x-rays, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear and IR imagesfor every patient, even the archived images. Userinitiated migration <strong>of</strong> images is conducted using an activetimeline query. The user needs to conduct this queryonce and only once since the image becomes residentwithin the Philips PACS system with the very first query.The PACS system installation was completed onsuch a tight schedule and in record-setting time. It was afirst-<strong>of</strong>-its-kind effort to implement the system within only6 months! This was only possible due to the amazingcontributions <strong>of</strong> our support team and collaborators.The success <strong>of</strong> this project was through the hard anddedicated work <strong>of</strong> a small contingent, which currentlyrepresents our core implementation team. I would liketo say thanks to many amazing and inspirational peoplefor their help: Lori Cavalli, Amy Brewer-Burton, VedranaDjurdjic, Mike Wolfe,Bob Borys, Dr. SanjaySuri, Mike Deeter, AmySchoenherr, KendraPotter, Robert Lovemore,CIO Shirley Gabriel, ourVice-Chariman Dr. BillErly, CMIO Dr. Peter Catinella,our Chairman Dr.Diego Martin and CEODr. Michael Waldrum.Based on a contractwith Philips, we are excitedand looking forward toour mutual collaborationover the next eight years.Dr. Balazs Lengyel, Chief <strong>of</strong>Imaging InformaticsA New Feature - Employee Pr<strong>of</strong>iles! by Mimi VillafaneA new feature that’s been added to the Department <strong>of</strong> Medical Imaging newsletter is the employee pr<strong>of</strong>ilesection. Each edition <strong>of</strong> the newsletter will contain a pr<strong>of</strong>ile on one or two department employees. This is a way torecognize the members <strong>of</strong> our team from all the different sections in our department. Thanks goes out to StephenAlden for suggesting this new feature!Bill Quirk - Radiology Technician, Clinical Instructor, Walking Imaging Archive!Quality control. Radiology Technologist. Clinical Instructor. Dark Room Technician. These are some <strong>of</strong> thetitles and jobs that Bill Quirk has taken on in his 40-year career here at the Department <strong>of</strong> Medical Imaging. Hiredin 1973 as a Dark Room Technician, Bill developed x-ray films back when the development process involvedmessy chemicals and the end result was part art, part chemistry, part miracle. Quality control soon became anotherone <strong>of</strong> his jobs and his mission.After receiving his Radiologic Technologist’s license through the Pima Community College (PCC) RadiologicTechnology Program, Bill became the x-ray trouble-shooting expert and the go-to man for processor problems.Next he took on the added responsibility <strong>of</strong> training and teaching the PCC radiology technologist students in <strong>University</strong>Medical Center’s (UMC) Radiology Department. Since that time back in 1976, he has trained generations <strong>of</strong>radiology technologists at UMC. On average, Bill trains seven to eight PCC radiology students a year. That’s wellover 400 radiology techs in his career!Back when the radiology department only <strong>of</strong>fered x-rays, Bill became the stabilizing force for learning andgrowing in our department with every new imaging service we added - Ultrasound, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, and IR.You could say Bill is a walking imaging archive with all his experience!Passionate about teaching and imaging, Bill’s proud <strong>of</strong> what he does. “We work with our students and staff toprovide the best image possible and available.” He strives to maintain the quest for excellent imaging. Bill says,“No other radiology department services the diversity <strong>of</strong> patients that we do.” In imaging everyone from Neonatalpatients, to Organ Transplant patients, to Trauma Level One patients, we excel. (Continued on page 3)


Page 3A New Feature - Employee Pr<strong>of</strong>iles (Continued from page 2)Bill has been working closely with the Neonatal ICU Unit since day one, working to make imaging easieron the smallest and most fragile patients we see, the premature babies. He’s also worked hard to createcharts and protocols to make imaging easier and less traumatic for all patients, including abused children.Bill’s compassion shines through in all his interactions with patients, with students and with staff. Bill is aninvaluable resource. He is an imaging shining star!Natalie McMillan -Chief Radiology Tech, Coordinator, Wunderkind!One look at Natalie and you might guess that she’s a student. Don’t let her youthfulappearance fool you. A natural born leader, she is the Chief Radiology Tech in theNuclear Medicine section.Natalie has been with the department for nine years. She came here from SouthDakota after finishing her nuclear medicine degree from Southeast Technical Instituteand started at <strong>University</strong> Medical Center as a staff technologist. And, just four yearsago, Natalie took over as the Chief Tech.The Nuclear Medicine department interacts and works very closely with every singledepartment in the hospital - Pediatrics, Orthopedics, OB-GYN, Neurology, Cardiology,Natalie McMillanetc. That’s just one <strong>of</strong> the reasons why Nuclear Medicine relies heavily on their technologistsand, <strong>of</strong> course, on Natalie. Natalie works well with everyone, in every department.Well known and respected, Natalie handles the clinical side equally well as the research side. “We do alot <strong>of</strong> clinical trials, more than I ever thought I’d do,” says Natalie. She enjoys the fast-paced, busy aspects <strong>of</strong>her job as well as the staff she works with. “We have a great team and support staff,” says Natalie.Her organizational and leadership skill level is equivalent to someone with decades <strong>of</strong> experience, somuch so that you could almost say she’s a leader-prodigy. Natalie’s natural leadership and ability to handlecomplex research protocols came into play when we began the huge challenge <strong>of</strong> orchestrating the PET CTProgram at UMI in November 2010. This wouldn’t have been possible without Natalie.Natalie is someone who takes on challenges in-the-blink-<strong>of</strong>-an-eye and easily shines. She admits thatsometimes it’s challenging to balance the administrative duties with the technical duties, but she still does itwith ease. Natalie scintillates, pure and simple.Congratulations to our Graduating Residents and Fellows!They’re on their way to the following Fellowships and positions:ResidentsMelanie Kuhlman, MD – <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arizona</strong> – Interventional Radiology FellowAndrew Nash, MD – Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA – Neuroradiology FellowMohammed Nawas, MD – Mallinckrodt Inst. <strong>of</strong> Radiology, St. Louis, MO - Neuroradiology FellowRavi Shastri, MD – <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI – Neuroradiology FellowSachin Shr<strong>of</strong>f, MD – <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arizona</strong> – Neuroradiology FellowKaran Sundlass, MD – Medical College <strong>of</strong> Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI - Interventional Radiology FellowFellowsSindhu Kumar, MD - Ab.

Page 5*Imaging Shining Stars*Each edition <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Medical Imagingnewsletter will have a section called “Imaging ShiningStars.” This section recognizes employees who’ve goneabove and beyond the scope <strong>of</strong> their duties; peoplewho’ve been given a pat on the back from a patient,another department, or generally someone outside ourteam.***************The following report came in from Laurie McMahon,an RN in the Emergency Department:I wanted to share a very positive experience I hadtoday. I had patient in room 46 that was a 1:1, we hada very hard time getting her to sleep and a hard timekeeping her that way. The gentlemen that were at the CTscanner, named Greg and Julio, were without any doubtthe most pr<strong>of</strong>essional and caring CT peeps I have everdealt with. They helped me out so much by dimming thelights, whispering and using the slide board. They wentabove and beyond and were very helpful to help keep thispatient sleeping, thanks to them. Could you please givethem a pat on the back from us over here?***************Angela Castillo submitted these comments andrecognition:5E: Dennis Schrage jumped in to the PICC teamand prevented a patient from leaving AMA. He alsomade sure a patient on the same floor received theverification read necessary for discharge.Incredible collaboration <strong>of</strong> the PICC team and IR:The PICC team started Friday down a nurse and 8 patients.Several patients needed discharge PICCs. Carlquickly prioritized needs and requested assistancefrom Interventional Radiology. By noon, there were 12patients. Mike T. was able to come in to help out in theafternoon. With the help <strong>of</strong> all involved only 2 patientsrolled to the next day. This is incredible!D5: Phinney Ripley and Dulce Quiroga for arrivingso quickly to ensure a STAT x-ray was done forone <strong>of</strong> our precious patients and you were excellent.You both were friendly, fast and very pr<strong>of</strong>essional. Yourexcellent care is so appreciated.D3N: Mandy Vigil in the ED made me feel lessscared and really took steps to try and be gentle becauseI was in a lot <strong>of</strong> pain. I really feel like I receivedEXCELLENT care at UAMC. I would recommend thishospital to anyone. Everyone treated me very pr<strong>of</strong>essionallyand was wonderful!! Thank you so much.***************A patient called to inform hospital administration<strong>of</strong> what a wonderful experience she had at UAMC.She mentioned Carol Suida assisted with her CT.The patient was very scared and nervous for thescan; however, Carol explained everything in detail,answered all her questions, and made her feel verycomfortable and at ease. She stated she was coldand Carol provided her with a blanket.Prior to her CT, she also had an ultrasound andstated the staff was pleasant, courteous and helpful.When she had a biopsy, she stated that Mark Akersand Dr. Khan held her hand and stayed by her sideduring the whole procedure. She was very appreciative<strong>of</strong> their time and patience while she underwentthe procedure.***************Desi Spurr, MS CCC-SLP, Speech and LanguagePathologist, submitted this awesome report:I wanted to take a moment to recognize someamazing members <strong>of</strong> your staff in Radiology.Kimberly Guinter and Danielle Hobbs are trueassets to this hospital, and especially to our SpeechTherapy team. They both work very hard to accommodateour Speech Therapy pt’s, to meet ourschedules and communicate with us throughout theday about orders both new and pending. Their interactionswith patients are always very respectful,pr<strong>of</strong>essional, and supportive. They are excellent ptadvocates, always vigilant <strong>of</strong> orders that don’t quiteseem to make sense and page me about theseorders <strong>of</strong>ten for clarification. On multiple occasions,this vigilance has prevented an unsafe procedurefrom occurring (i.e., an NPO pt with severe dysphasiahaving an esophagram). They are also welleducated about the equipment in fluoro and helpthe doctors with this so very <strong>of</strong>ten. These womendo an excellent job every day they are here. Ihonestly do not know what I would do without them.Just wanted to acknowledge them for the amazingjob they do.***************Kudos goes out to Carl, Mike T., Julio Jimenezand Greg Rosas, Dennis Schrage, PhinneyRipley, Dulce Quiroga, Mandy Vigil, Carol Suida,Mark Akers, Dr. Rihan Khan, Kimberly Guinterand Danielle Hobbs for going above and beyondfor our patients!

This year therewas a three way tie between Drs. Matthew Covington, EugeneDuke and Amy Janicek. Each <strong>of</strong> these residents was presentedthe Resident Teaching Award. Medical students also vote on thebest teacher among our Attendings. Dr. Veronica Arteaga wonthat honor, The Saguaro Award, for the third consecutive year.We wish to extend a hearty THANK YOU to all who spend time inthe reading rooms and presenting lectures to our MD candidatesevery week.The Outstanding Exam Award was designated this year toDr. Michael Davis for achieving the highest score on the residentexam.The Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award is presentedby the RSNA to a program nominated resident or fellow. Thisaward seeks to recognize and encourage outstanding residents andfellows in radiologic research as evidenced by presentations <strong>of</strong> scientificpapers at regional or national meetings, publication <strong>of</strong> scientificpapers in peer-reviewed journals, receipt <strong>of</strong> a research grant or(Left to right, Dr. Dorothy Gilberson-Dahdal, Neuro FellowMonique Meyer, winner <strong>of</strong> the Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award, and Dr. Diego Martin)contributions to the success <strong>of</strong> a research program within the department and other research activities. Our <strong>2013</strong>-14recipient <strong>of</strong> the this prestigious award was Neuroradiology fellow Dr. Monique A. Meyer. Look for her achievementto be acknowledged nationally in upcoming RSNA publications.Each year, our resident house staff chooses a faculty member who stands out as the one who most contributesto resident education. Originally this award was called the Outstanding Teacher in Radiology. Over a period <strong>of</strong> twentyyears, Dr. George Barnes was a tireless member <strong>of</strong> the academic staff in the Department <strong>of</strong> Radiology who had apassion for teaching. He wore a bow-tie every day and instilled his love <strong>of</strong> radiology to residents and fellows. He wonthe Outstanding Teacher award so many times that it was subsequently named in his honor. This year the GeorgeBarnes Award was presented by fourth year residents Dr. Sachin Shr<strong>of</strong>f and Dr. Adam Bauer to Vascular/IR SectionChief Charles Hennemeyer, M.D.CONGRATULATIONS to all our graduates and award winners.
