Falls are one of the most preventable patient safety events, and at UCSF Imaging, we take that seriously.

This Patient Safety Week, we want patients to know that falls prevention is a team effort. Our care teams identify fall risk, communicate it across providers, and provide support, including walking assistance, wheelchairs, non-skid socks, and visual safety tools. https://radiology.ucsf.edu/news/fall-prevention-simple-steps-lower-your-risk-falling

She grew up in the East Bay, started showjumping at 12, and was sure she'd become an exotic animal vet. Instead, Isabelle Remick found her way to clinical research, and she's been building momentum ever since.

After joining UCSF in 2022, Isabelle moved from clinical research coordination to supporting the UCSF-Siemens low-field MR collaboration to clinical trials at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. Now she's the research project manager for the UCSF – GEHC Care Innovation Hub, which celebrated its first anniversary in January.

Last Friday, we celebrated Thank a Resident and Fellow Day, and faculty wrote gratitude notes for their trainees.

Dr. Jason Talbott, Division Chief of Emergency Radiology, observed, "You rise to the demands of busy mornings in the reading room and late nights on call with the three critical H's: humanity, humility, and humor."

We're thrilled to announce that John Morkos, MD, MSE, Max Stahl, MD, and Justin Yoon, MD, will begin their service as chief residents of our diagnostic radiology program on June 8. Congratulations to all three!

Serving as chief resident is one of the most meaningful roles in a training program. It requires dedication, leadership, and a genuine commitment to the people around you. We know this next chapter is in great hands.

We also want to take a moment to recognize and thank our outgoing chief residents, Neda Ghassemi, MD, Eric Lopez, MD, and Mike Romano, MD, PhD, for their outstanding service and unwavering support for our residents, program, department, and institution. Their contributions have left a real mark, and we're grateful for their leadership.

Reading scans is just the beginning for Dr. Tatiana Kelil. She takes those images and prints them into 3D models that surgeons can hold.

This former nurse turned UCSF's Breast Imaging Chief transforms flat MRI images into physical models surgeons can practice on before operating. Her latest project? Teaching AI to identify which patients will develop breast cancer next year, not just those who have it today.

Our department is finding moments of light this season, and it may have something to do with the cats and dogs who make every day better. More fur, more smiles, and a little extra joy when it's needed most.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with comfort and happiness!

A new study from UCSF, co-led by UCSF Imaging's Dr. Pratik Mukherjee, shows that some children's sensory overload can be identified through distinct brain activity patterns. Kids who struggle with sound, touch, or visual input show a different balance between networks tied to self-control and sensation.

This work may help clinicians create more personalized approaches for families seeking answers and support.

New research shows how brain networks differ in neurodiverse children who are and aren't resilient in the face of sensory overload.
