The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), North America’s oldest radiological society, has announced the four 2023 winners of its ARRS Resident/Fellow in Radiology Awards, sponsored by The Roentgen Fund. 

Each year, the awards aim to highlight promising residents and fellows that represent the “next generation” of top radiologists helping to advance the science and practice of radiology through their research.  

Here are this year’s winners and the research topics that earned them their awards, according to the ARRS announcement: 

1. Elliot T. Varney, MD, the diagnostic radiology chief resident at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, is investigating modifiable imaging biomarkers of cardiometabolic disease, and has a strong interest in image-guided interventions and cancer imaging.

Vanney’s award-winning research is titled “MR Proton Density Fat Fraction Suitability for Fat Quantification Across the Spectrum of Normal to Severe Steatosis—A Prospective Comparative Analysis of Multiple Noninvasive Tests.”

2. Vincius Alves, MD, is a research fellow at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Alves focuses on clinical and translational pediatric imaging and will pursue a career in academic radiology. 

His award-winning research is titled “Lack of Speech Arrest During Cortical Stimulation in Patients With Brain Tumors Associated With Interhemispheric Reorganization of Functional Language Network.”
