Last month, (December of 2013), our Radiologist, Dr. Sana Khan was inducted into the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) Presidential Circle. Imaging is at the center of most medical treatment decisions, states Dr. Khan. In medicine we are fortunate to be able to do well by doing good, as such Vital partners to conduct research with very high profile academic institutions such as UCLA, USC, UCSD, US Department of Defense, and US Navy through which numerous scien...tific papers have been published. RSNA is an esteemed society of medical professionals made up of more than 53,000 members from 140 countries. It evolved from the very first Radiological society established in 1901 into the foremost professional association of an ever-growing field of medicine. RSNA has continues to be a champion of scientific and medical innovation through research, publication and education. For over a decade, the RSNA President’s Circle has served as a catalyst for progress by furthering important studies and empowering emerging scholars of the Radiology field through generous Resident and Fellowship grants. Dr. Khan shares, It is a privilege and an honor to be doing medical research and to be included in Radiological Society of North America's Presidential Circle for contribution to research in Radiology.

reVITALization We have begun a massive remodel at our locations to include a whole new look and feel. We know that patients are seeking MRI's to diagnose the source of their discomfort. We want to provide a clean, comfortable and tranquil environment for our patients while they wait for their service. We are also making every effort to streamline the paperwork and minimalize wait time for patients by providing access to patient information forms on line. If your patients do n...ot have access to the internet, they can fill out those forms in our office on their appointment day. Doctors are welcome to provide those as well for the ease of their patients. The link to these forms can be found at our website www.Vitalimaging.com, click on the doctors and patients tab and scroll down to PDF for Patients. We will be sending out invites to our referral sources for open houses as soon as renovations are complete. We will also be happy to include anyone interested on our list for our upcoming lecture series presented by our very own Dr. Khan. For more information about events in your area, please send an email and be sure to include your geographic locale to me, Amee Gray and I will be sure you are included in the list for this informative series for you and your staff.

Vital Imaging DoD Research Vital Imaging along with UCSD and the Navy Health Research Center have been conducting a study since 2011 to evaluate the effects of load bearing on the spine. The purpose of the study has been to gather preliminary data on how the assault pack can affect the spine of young Navy SEALs so alternate methods for the SEALs could be designed. The results of this study have now been submitted for publication. We are excited to announce that the success of... the preliminary study has led to a second grant from the Department of Defense (DoD). The grant is designated to further evaluate the "Lumbar Spine Musculoskeletal Physiology and Biomechanics during Simulated Military Operations." This is a 3 year grant that extends the previous work done with Vital Imaging and is currently set to start in September, 2013. Vital Imaging is proud to serve our men and women in uniform and is looking forward to participating in research that will improve their short and long term health issues. See more
