Second-year radiology resident Adam Militana, M.D., working with Vanderbilt Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS),research Vicky Morgan, Ph.D., was awarded the "Best Clinical Research Poster" at the 32nd Annual VUMC Graduate Medical Education Research Forum for his poster titled “Increased Cerebrovascular Reactivity in the Days Following Sports-Related Concussion in College Athletes”. Fifty posters were entered in the competition.
Drs. Militana and Morgan, along with a team of researchers from the VUIIS, have been using fMRI to study the effects of concussion on cerebrovascular reactivity in college students. Their work will also been presented at the American Society of Neuroradiology and a full manuscript will soon be submitted detailing their work. Congratulations and great work!
