Drs. Khurana and Chapelin Win Early-Career Research Award at SRU 2020

September 30, 2020

Their award-winning research was reviewed among several national and international submissions to the annual conference.

Dr. Aman Khurana, assistant professor of radiology and joint faculty member, and Dr. Fanny Chapelin, research assistant professor--both in the F. Joseph Halcomb III, M.D. Department of Biomedical Engineering--saw their original work on Ultrasound Liver Imaging Reporting And Data System (US LI-RADS) awarded third place for early-career research award at "Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound" (SRU) 2020. Their award-winning research was reviewed among several national and international submissions to the annual conference.

Drs. Khurana and Chapelin's work is titled “Interobserver agreement between primary scanning sonographers and secondary over-readers for surveillance liver ultrasounds using US LI-RADS." The first author of the award-winning paper (Dr. Khurana) will be expected to present the findings to the SRU Fellows in a special mentorship session on the first day of the meeting. The mentorship session will give the presenters invaluable exposure to the SRU Fellows with a short time after each presentation devoted to a discussion between Fellows and the presenter.

The paper will be submitted to Ultrasound Quarterly, the official journal of the SRU, for possible publication. Other authors of the award-winning abstract include Dr. Adrian Dawkins (Associate Professor of Radiology & Abdominal Division Chief) and Dr. Leslie Nelson (Radiology resident).
