Keynote Address: “The Art of Ultrasound/Ultrasound as an Art” on Friday, October 14, 2022.

 

 

Vickie Feldstein, MD

Vickie Feldstein MD is a Professor in the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at the University of California San Francisco. She graduated cum laude from Harvard College and received her medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School/Brown University Program in Medicine. Following residency and fellowship training at UCSF, Dr. Feldstein joined the faculty there in 1992. She has dedicated expertise and specific clinical focus in diagnostic ultrasound.  She specializes in the sonographic assessment of high-risk pregnancies, gynecologic conditions and applications of Doppler US. Much of her research efforts have been conducted in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team of colleagues at the UCSF Fetal Treatment Center.

In addition to dedication to the field of sonography, Dr. Feldstein has long been interested and involved with the visual arts. She served on the inaugural Art Committee at the UCSF Medical Center, Mission Bay and commissioned works of art installed there. 

The keynote address "The Art of Ultrasound/Ultrasound as an Art" will consider ways in which this unique modality relies on images created by hand-held tools. Transducers are used to generate a picture and that picture is used to tell a story. Our diagnostic capabilities are enhanced when we optimize how we obtain, view and interpret sonographic images.

The Arts & Crafts of Ultrasound Specialists

The theme of SRU 2022 is “Advancing the Art of Ultrasound.”  Ultrasound is a unique imaging modality in that sonologists and sonographers create images using special, selected hand-held tools. The "crafting" of an ultrasound image can be likened to other visual arts - where devices are used to generate a picture and that picture is used to tell a story. 

Whether you are an artist, someone interested in art and/or someone interested in sponsoring research for junior ultrasound investigators, the Arts & Crafts of Ultrasound Specialists portion of the meeting will have something for you. 

Sharing Art:  SRU members and fellows are invited to send in digital representations of their art.  We welcome and encourage your participation. Please submit the image(s) as PowerPoint slide(s) including your name and a small accompanying head shot. If you would like, please also include a title and brief description of the piece and/or the medium used. These submissions will be incorporated into slide sets that will be highlighted at the meeting.  We hope to prompt conversations about the creative process and spur discussions about art and artistry amongst the attendees. 

Silent Auction: Fundraiser to support SRUF Early Career Research Grants.  SRU members and fellows are invited to consider donating a piece of their art for our silent auction. If you are willing to donate your work for this good cause, you will receive acknowledgement of your donation.  The silent auction will run from Friday morning until Saturday afternoon. We strongly encourage you to donate your works of art and crafts – and welcome active participation in this effort.  The money raised via the silent auction of donated pieces will be earmarked for the SRU Foundation Early Career Research Grants. 

What does SRU mean by “art”? Art is whatever you think it is!  For our purposes: 

  • Arts & Crafts: Painting, drawing, photography, mixed media collage, jewelry, quilting, ceramics.  If it is a creation and you made it – it’s art and we welcome it. 
  • Digital Display of Arts & Crafts: Slide submission (no audio component) will be used for display.  Stay tuned for the next SRU newsletter with further details regarding image size and format, and how best to watermark and protect your images. 
  • Silent Auction: Art pieces will be displayed at the annual meeting. Set up will be begin on Thursday, with the final set up Friday morning and the auction ending on Saturday noon. Payments, above the stated value of the art, are tax-deductible donations to the SRU Foundation.

Complete this form to participate.

"Art and the Radical Act of Diagnostic Excellence and Lunch"

This lively, interactive workshop centers the practice at the core of medical imaging: the collaborative art of careful visual inspection. Increasingly, that practice occurs alongside patients and family members, and with other specialists, clinical team members, and trainees — leaving many radiologists and sonographers to improvise beyond their training. This workshop fills the gap with a sequence of arts-based exercises designed to surface and reinforce key principles of careful observation, diagnostic teamwork, and patient-centered approaches. Featuring an adapted version of the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) methodology used increasingly in health professional training, the session will also include a brief overview of literature, tools for practice and teaching, and reflection. Join us to look at art together, enhance capacity, seed innovation, and talk about medicine’s most sacred art — seeing patients.

LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE 

$25 fee for boxed lunch

These electronic posters will be presented in PDF format and available to attendees using the SRU meeting application. Abstract submissions will be reviewed by the SRU Research Committee to ensure quality and suitability for the SRU Annual Meeting. For many residents, these posters enable them to attend the meeting with travel support from their residencies; for attendees, these posters are an excellent addition to the learning opportunities at the meeting.

(Program Directors, Department Chairs, Section Chiefs, and Attendings, please encourage your residents to submit an abstract. Please share this information with your colleagues.)

(Abstracts accepted for presentation give the authors an opportunity to network with leaders in the field and an opportunity to discuss their research.)

(Acceptance of a poster for the SRU annual meeting does not preclude its submission elsewhere.)

 

Electronic scientific and/or educational abstracts submissions will be due September 1, 2022
