RADXX AWARD WINNERS 2019
The RADxx awards recognize the achievements of women in the field of medical imaging informatics.
As well as anyone— both men and women— who have helped and supported women in medical imaging informatics.
RADxx Trailblazer
This RADxx award recognizes a pioneering woman leader in imaging informatics. Must have demonstrated contributions in advancing imaging informatics— for example: established mentor/residency programs, published research or articles, spoken at industry events, regular social media contributions etc.
Runners-up:
- Cheryl Carey: Cheryl Carey is the Executive Director of SIIM.
- Dr. Elizabeth Krupinski: Elizabeth Krupinski, PhD, is Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine.
And the Winner is… Charlene Tomaselli!
Charlene is currently the Director of Medical Imaging Information Technology at Johns Hopkins Medicine. As the director of medical imaging information technology, Charlene manages a team that implements and supports all the radiology applications that are used in radiology for five hospitals and four freestanding imaging centers.
RADxx Rising Star
This RADxx award recognizes the next generation of emerging women leaders in imaging informatics. In addition to the award recognition, this recipient will receive a travel award to attend the SIIM Annual Conference and will be paired with leaders from the RADxx community to provide a priceless, guided mentor experience while at the event!
Runners-up:
- Kori Stewards: Kori Stewart is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Clinical Director for the CT, MRI and Ultrasound programs at the University of Hartford in West Hartford, CT.
- Dr. Kirti Magudia: Kirti Magudia, MD, Ph.D. is finishing her radiology training at the University of California, San Francisco as a T32 research fellow in the Biomedical Imaging for Clinical Scientists Program followed by a clinical fellowship in abdominal imaging and ultrasound.
And the Winner is… Dr. Michelle Bardis!
As a former NASA electrical engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dr. Bardis is using her mathematical and programming skills to analyze a new type of data: medical images. Her signal processing skills are now being used to solve problems looking at matrices that represent anatomical data instead of space communication data. She plans to build her medical knowledge as a radiology resident and combine it with her technical skills for developing better tools for medical image analysis. She envisions that will AI transform radiology and her eventual goal is to become a principal investigator and leader in this specialty.
RADxx Champion
The RADxx Champion award recognizes individuals who have helped to sponsor the career development of women in medical imaging informatics.
Runner-up:
- Dr. Faaiza Mahmoud: Dr. Mahmoud is the Body Imaging Fellowship Director at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School.
And the Winner is… Dr. Agnieszka Solberg!
Dr. Solberg is a Vascular and Interventional radiologist who passionately advocates for women, particularly women in radiology/informatics. Having served 14 years in the US Army, she continues to serve others by creating a group for over 3,000 women radiologists and providing them with valuable resources to navigate through the struggles of being a woman in a male- dominant field. Board certified by the ABIM, ABNM, and ABR, she actively practices as an Interventional Radiologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at UND.
RADxx Advocate
This RADxx award is open to both men and women who have helped support and further the advancement of women in imaging informatics.
Runners-up:
- Dr. Teresa Martin-Carreras and Dr. Tirath Patel: Founders of #RADdiversity – Meeting for the first time at #ACR2019, and inspired by great initiatives of others, Dr. Martin-Carreras and Dr. Patel wanted to have a place to celebrate the breakthroughs and discuss challenges that remain to achieving D&I in radiology.
- Neil Tenenholz: In addition to serving in the ACR’s Data Science Institute, Dr. Neil Tenenholtz is a Senior Research Engineer at Microsoft Research where he develops computationally efficient probabilistic methods for automated machine learning.
And the Winner is… Dr. Anant Madabhushi!
Dr. Anant Madabhushi is Director of the Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD); F. Alex Nason Professor II, Department of Biomedical Engineering; and on faculty in the Departments of Pathology, Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Urology, General Medical Sciences, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Anant Madabhushi is committed to advancing the careers of women in the imaging informatics space. He thoughtfully considers and purses diversity on his team and projects as well as in the composition of symposia panels and advisory committees. He has supported several women on his team to achieve promotion, including to the positions of assistant professor and research associate.
