Professor James R. Stone, MD, PhD, has received funding from the Department of Defense for research projects to better identify, prevent, and treat brain injuries for military personnel caused by repeated blast exposures.

The four research projects funded by the $5.3 million grant are in collaboration with the Naval Medical Research Command. They will explore the role of the neurovascular unit – the interactions between blood vessels in the brain and brain tissue – in maintaining healthy brain function and how damage to the unit can cause chronic health conditions.

Earlier this week, UVA Radiology Professors Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH, and Alan H. Matsumoto, MD, MA, traveled to the Executive Mansion in Richmond for a special event: the signing of a Virginia proclamation to recognize November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

In addition to their roles at UVA, Drs. Krishnaraj and Matsumoto are both national leaders in radiology: Dr. Krishnaraj serves as chair of the American College of Radiology's Commission on Patient- and Family-Centered Care, and Dr. Matsumoto is currently the chair of the ACR's Board of Chancellors.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world, but annual screenings can reduce lung cancer deaths by up to 20 percent. Learn more: https://www.uvahealth.com/support/lung-cancer/screening

Throwback to this past Halloween, where our weekend night MRI team showed they were made of: Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice 😇

Even when they're not dressed as Powerpuff Girls, we're thankful to have this crew throughout the year to fight the forces of evil!

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/
