A research project aimed at developing a new way to image lung perfusion has won a VUMC Radiology member a coveted award. Abdominal Imaging fellow Matthew Smith, MD, PhD, was chosen as this year’s recipient for the RSNA Resident Research Award.

He was nominated by the department to recognize his work and efforts towards this research.

VUMC Radiology Associate Professor Kim Sandler, MD, recently wrote about the importance of lung cancer screening for ACR's Voice of Radiology Blog ahead of National Lung Cancer Screening Day on November 11.
