Ultrasound Assessment of Liver Fat

As a non-invasive assessment of liver fat, ultrasound is well-positioned to impact population screening and surveillance of at-risk patients. This session will discuss the traditional qualitative features of liver fat and their drawbacks, and highlight new and emerging quantitative tools that hold promise in providing a more consistent assessment and actional results.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plenary

This session addresses the challenges and opportunities in navigating acceptance in the workplace.

Nicole Hindman, MD, FSABI
I am a Professor of Radiology and Surgery at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Genitourinary imaging has been the main clinical and research focus of my radiologic career. In this field, I have focused on the applicability of the Bosniak classification of renal cysts and the role of MR in imaging of female pelvic conditions (with focus on endometriosis, fibroids and leiomyosarcoma). I have achieved national recognition in Radiology, serving on the Board of national organizations like the Society of Advanced Body Imaging and co-Chairing committees for the American Board of Radiology and the American College of Radiology, developing national and international standards in radiology, and publishing over 81 papers. I serve on the Editorial Board as an Associate Editor for the Radiology and also for the Journal of Computed Tomography (JCAT). Internally, I have had the privilege of serving in the following roles at NYU School of Medicine and Bellevue Hospital in the department of Radiology: 1) full time clinician, Director of Female Pelvic Imaging and the Institutional MR Safety Officer, 2) educator and 3) the Vice Chair of Diversity and Health Equity for Radiology.

The Next Generation (Z): Boldly Going into the Workforce

Generation Z has only recently been entering the healthcare workforce. The way they interact with people and their workplace expectations are very different from those who belong to the generations before them. This creates some challenges that can be overcome by understanding the main differences between generations. This session will open a door for you to build strong relationships with generation Z.
