Congratulations to Alexandra Foust, DO, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, for having her work “Developmental Anomalies of the Midface” published by the American Society of Neuroradiology in Neurographics. The goal of the paper was to understand the key features of midface development and to use a location-based approach to generate a relevant differential diagnosis for congenital midface anomalies.

The ACR Bulletin recently highlighted VUMC Radiology for its health equity efforts. From the Walker III Lecture in Health Equity to the work done with the student-run Shade Tree Clinic, ACR showcased the dedicated work those in our department do every day to help our community. In the Bulletin, several of our faculty members and students are quoted, discussing the nature of their work and what inspires them to do it.
