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

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

(authors left to right: Deborah Levine, Mindy Horrow, Dahiya Nirvikar, Ed Bluth, Mark Sugi, Vickie Feldstein)

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.

Special Lunch Event

Saturday, October 15th @12 – 1 pm MST

“Art and the Radical Act of Diagnostic Excellence and Lunch”

*Not for CME

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

Meeting Objectives

Demonstrate how experts solve a wide range of clinical questions using ultrasound and how they diagnose patients with common symptoms in the emergency department.

Review new technologies in sonographic imaging such as elastography and contrast enhanced scans, compare them with other sonographic technologies and technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, and evaluate if and how the new technologies can be incorporated into the individual’s practice.

Describe the role of ultrasound in the evaluation and management of thyroid nodules including an introduction to the ACR TIRADS. Examine additional areas in the neck where ultrasound can contribute to patient work-up and management.

Identify the contributions of ultrasound in interventional procedures in the liver, kidney, chest, vascular system, and musculoskeletal system.

Review the obstetrical ultrasound findings, measurements and interventions in single and multiple gestations, including the findings in Zika infection and the value and role of 3D ultrasound.

Evaluate and discuss sonography of the musculoskeletal system including the major joints, peripheral nerves, and extremity masses.

Evaluate sonography in women’s imaging including the discussion of the breast, endometrium, myometrium, and ovaries.

Review the range sonographic technologies applicable to the evaluation of liver masses and diffuse liver disease, including standard grey-scale, Doppler, contrast enhanced, elastography, and interventional.

Discuss and evaluate sonography of the bowel, spine, organ transplants, and soft tissue masses, and contrast enhanced ultrasound as they specifically apply to the pediatric population.

Keynote Speaker

Address: Ultrasound Measurements: Practice, Pitfalls, Promise

Friday, October 22, 2021 10:15 AM Eastern

Laurence Needleman, MD, FSRU

Laurence Needleman, MD FSRU was born in the Bronx. His radiology residency was at New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center where his love of ultrasound was started by working with Eli Kazam. Eli sent him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he was a fellow with Barry B. Goldberg, Al Kurtz and many other fabulous attendings. He has been lucky enough to do all manners of ultrasound from echocardiography to high risk obstetrics to interventional ultrasound. He is best known for his love of vascular ultrasound. He is the second division director of Ultrasound at Thomas Jefferson University following BBG. He has served on several SRU and other societal committees, JRC-CVT for vascular technology school accreditation, and has been president of Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories. He was a philosophy major in college where he learned to distrust measurements.

ONLINE PROGRAM CODE OF CONDUCT

The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) has always valued a collegial and interactive meeting for its members and attendees. As we go ONLINE again this year, we continue to create and foster a dynamic and positive culture to support our values of inclusion, diversity and professionalism. We welcome all members and encourage open dialogue that does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin or citizenship, language, religion, age, sex, gender identity or disability.

Therefore, during our digitally supported programming, SRU is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all meeting participants and SRU staff. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, SRU staff members, and service providers, are expected to abide by this Online Program Code of Conduct. This Code applies to all SRU meeting-related events, including those sponsored by organizations other than SRU but held in conjunction with SRU events, on public or private platforms.

SRU expects that all attendees, media, speakers, organizers, staff, and exhibitors associated with any official SRU-sponsored event will adhere to the following principles:

Respect common-sense rules for public behavior, personal interaction, courtesy, and respect for intellectual property.
Be considerate and respectful of differing perspectives during the meeting.

SRU has no tolerance for any form of discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to sexual harassment, by participants or our staff at our meetings. SRU strongly encourages avoidance of unacceptable disruptive behavior, defined as:

Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form.

Verbal abuse of any attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, SRU staff member, service provider, or other meeting guest.
Threatening or stalking any attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, SRU staff member, service provider, or other meeting guest.
Disruption of presentations during sessions, in the “virtual” exhibit hall, or at other events organized by SRU throughout the online meeting. All participants must comply with the instructions of the moderator and any SRU online event staff.

Anyone who believes she or he has experienced or witnessed improper conduct should contact the American College of Radiology Legal Office promptly ([email protected] or 800.227.5463, ext. 5044). ACR Legal staff will work with SRU to address any matter.

SRU reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, including immediate removal from the meeting without warning or refund, in response to any incident of unacceptable disruptive behavior, and SRU reserves the right to prohibit attendance at any future meeting.
