For our 17th Tegtmeyer Lecture last month, we welcomed Dr. James Spies, professor and chair of Georgetown University Hospital's Department of Radiology, for a talk titled "Challenges in Radiology Practice: Now and in the Future."

The Tegtmeyer Endowed Lectureship was established in 2009 to honor Charles J. “Tunk” Tegtmeyer, and funds lectures in the field of interventional radiology. In addition, the project supports scholarly and educational activities for trainees and initiatives dedicated to the advancement of IR.

Thank you to Dr. Spies for sharing your knowledge with UVA! You can watch the full lecture here: https://med.virginia.edu/radiology/2025/08/25/17th-annual-tegtmeyer-lecture-challenges-in-radiology-practice-now-and-in-the-future/

Have you heard about the new equipment in our renovated operating room? The hybrid OR29 reopened in July and features surgical imaging technology which will provide enormous benefits to patients undergoing complex vascular procedures.

“The new machine (GE Healthcare’s Allia IGS 7 imaging platform) has really low radiation dose, which helps when we do really long endovascular cases,” said Vicky Herring, interventional radiology technologist for OR Imaging. “Patients don’t have to worry about burns or getting excessive radiation.” She also noted other features, like the ability to fuse prior CT scans to procedure imaging and to flag major vessels with landmarks, which result in safer and faster operations.

Vicky played a key role in OR29’s 5-month renovation. She helped test the full gamut of equipment: from monitors to lights to different types of machinery. She also contributed to the planning and placement of the room’s wall fixtures, and ensured correct inventory. And in advance of the room becoming operational, she trained to actually use these various room components and set up for open cases.

The room held its first case in August, and will hopefully see many more in the future. So thank you Vicky, as well as the various members of UVA Radiology and UVA Health, for working so hard to provide our patients with impactful, cutting-edge care!
