Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Vinuela received 2008 Stein Oppenheimer Endowment Award
UCLA Radiology is pleased to announce that Drs. Nestor Gonzalez and Fernando Vinuela from the Interventional Neuroradiology Division have been selected to receive the 2008 Stein Oppenheimer Endowment Award, a private grant from "Ijane inc." The awarded proposal of endovascular stroke model will allow for a more accurate simulation of human stroke conditions, utilizing minimally invasive techniques. Scientists and clinicians will benefit from a new model that can be used for molecular studies and new therapy testing. This model will produce a stroke with specifically controlled ischemia time and lesion volume, which will be suitable for imaging and intervention studies and provide sufficient cortex for multiple molecular experiments. Such model may become a fundamental tool for the development of new therapeutic interventions for cerebrovascular disease.

DCVI Intensive Coronary CTA Visiting Fellowship Course
The two-day course on Cardiac CTA is designed to cover all aspects of Cardiac CTA. In this course all aspects of Coronary CT Angiography, including patient selection, data acquisition techniques and post processing are covered. The course will be a combination of didactic lectures, which address the fundamentals of Cardiac CTA and its clinical application. The live cases will be performed and post processed at the time of acquisition. In addition the attendees will have the opportunity to review the extensive collection of cases already acquired in the Department teaching file. This will be done in the company of the Faculty members present that day. The objective of the course is to set the groundwork for level one readership and to become familiar with the basics of Cardiac CTA.
