Congratulations Katrina McGinty, MD, Associate Professor of Abdominal Imaging and Director of Global Radiology. Dr. McGinty was awarded a $20,000 Educational Grant from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Title: Virtual MRI Education in Low Resource Setting Project Dates: 07/01/2024-06/30/2025 Budget: $20,000 Brief Project Summary: The World Health Organization estimates that half to two-thirds of the world’s population has no or inadequate access to medical imaging. In addition to equipment shortages in low- and middle- income countries, there are workforces shortages, with an average of 1.9 versus 97.9 radiologists in low-income versus high-income countries. At present, access to radiology training programs in sub-Saharan Africa is severely limited. Only eighteen African countries have well-established diagnostic radiology residency programs and only five countries have programs for fellowship training following residency. These training programs often rely on international partners to support education and training. The University of North Carolina has such a partnership with the newly formed radiology residency in Malawi. With limited MRI scanners and essentially no subspecialty expertise in country, one of the areas of expressed need by the Malawian residency is education in acquisition and interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Over the next two years, it is anticipated that two MRI scanners
