Bursary enables testing of ultrasound biopsies
Siemens Healthineers managing director Peter Harrison and Dr Susan Shelmerdine.
Dr Susan Shelmerdine from Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, has been presented with a BIR/Siemens Healthineers research bursary to allow her to carry out feasibility testing of post-mortem ultrasound-guided core biopsies in the setting of perinatal death investigation.
The £1,000 award provides pilot funding for research in radiology, radiotherapy, oncology, radiography or medical physics.
Dr Shelmerdine, a paediatric radiology research fellow, said: “Thank you for this prestigious award. The funding for the pilot study will provide us with the necessary evidence we need before trialling the method in a larger study population and, hopefully, enabling its future implementation into clinical practice.”
