The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) proudly recognizes the following four radiologists, as well as their research, with the 2022 ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards:
Derek L. Nguyen, Johns Hopkins Hospital | Melissa Rosado de Christenson Award
“Imaging Predictors of Malignant Non-Mass Enhancement in Direct Association with Malignant Breast Cancer Masses on Preoperative Breast MRI with Pathologic Correlation”
Elham Beheshtian, University of Maryland Medical Centers | President’s Award
“Is AI Fair? Evaluation of Generalizability and Bias in a State-of-the-Art Bone Age AI Model”
Nassier Harfouch, Staten Island University Hospital/Northwell Health | Executive Council Award
“Using the Abdominal Aorta Calcium Score to Predict Coronary Artery Disease”
Kimberlee A. Hashiba, Massachusetts General Hospital | Executive Council Award
“Ipsilateral Recurrence Following Breast-Conserving Surgery for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: Evaluation of Risk Prediction Models”
Drs. Nguyen, Beheshtian, Harfouch, and Hashiba will present their research findings during the ARRS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, May 1–5, 2022.

Financed by The Roentgen Fund®, the ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards are available to all ARRS In-Training Members in imaging and allied sciences research to acknowledge their work and present their results during the ARRS Annual Meeting. Awards are based on the competence and promise of the candidate in radiological research, education, or administration and the scientific merit and potential impact of the candidate’s research.
An application call for the 2023 ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards will be announced later this year.

Showcasing practical tips (and even a few tricks) from residents who have recently aced the American Board of Radiology’s qualifying assessment, Preparing for the ABR Core Exam: A Panel Discussion is uniquely positioned to assist ARRS In-Training Members of every learning style in identifying the truly indispensable study guides.

Every month, AJR Editor in Chief Andrew Rosenkrantz handpicks an article from “the yellow journal” specifically for ARRS In-Training Members.
Imaging of Synovial Inflammation in Osteoarthritis, From the AJR Special Series on Inflammation
Read More: 10.2214/AJR.21.26170
Highlights:
- Synovitis is increasingly recognized as a key component of OA pathophysiology and a potentially important disease phenotype and treatment target.
- Contrast-enhanced MRI is the current reference standard for detecting the presence of synovitis in OA.
- Novel imaging methods may offer improved understanding of the role of synovitis through improved
application and/or quantitative assessment of inflammatory activity.

Also each month, AJR Journal Club authors write questions for ARRS In-Training Members to encourage more thorough participation in evidence-based medicine.
March’s article assesses longitudinal changes in the number and size of gallbladder polyps on
