T. Hans Newton Lecture "Acute Stroke Imaging: Algorithm for Diagnosis, Triage and Outcome Prediction"

You are cordialy invited to attend the 15th Annual T. Hans Newton Lecture. This is UCSF Neuroradiology's premier lecture, held annually in memory of the founder of our section, T. Hans Newton, MD, who served for more than 50 years in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF.

Pamela Whitney Schaefer, MD, Associate Professor, Clinical Director of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Associate Director of the Division of Neuroradiology at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, will be the 2016 Newton Lecturer. Dr. Schaefer is an internationally recognized expert on Stroke, and will be speaking on "Acute Stroke Imaging: Algorithm for Diagnosis, Triage and Outcome Prediction".

About Dr. T. Hans Newton: Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Newton brought the Seldinger technique for cerebrovascular angiography to the United States, performed the first embolization of a spinal AVM, and introduced CT and MRI to UCSF. He was a legendary mentor and teacher who inspired countless trainees to enter the field of Neuroradiology. As Dr. Newton's reputation, and that of UCSF, spread throughout the world, UCSF became the world's premier center for training academic neuroradiologists. Dr. Newton was also one of 14 founding members, and president of the American Society of Neuroradiology, and was the recipient of the society's very first gold medal.
