SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Medical Imaging Advances: Do All Bell-and-Whistle Options Impact Patient Care?
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the development of Computed Tomography from its inception in the early 1970s to the present\; the medical applications of CT (e.g.\, diagnostic radiology\, radiation oncology\, and interventional CBCT)\; and the current state of how CT improvements are driven. The theme of the discussion will be to highlight the key technological advances that increased the value of CT in medicine. Examples of advancements with unquestionable benefit to patient care and other “advancements” with motivation rooted in unwarranted fear over radiation dose will be covered. This discussion will be presented in a manner suitable for the non-medical imaging expert to convey the larger themes related to technology advancement in the space of medical imaging.  \n\n\nSpeaker: Timothy Szczykutowicz\, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health\, Department of Medical Physics\n\nDr. Szczykutowicz is an assistant professor in the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health Departments of Radiology\, Medical Physics\, and Biomedical Engineering. He received his Bachelors of Science in Physics from the SUNY University at Buffalo in 2008. He was active in medical physics at Buffalo in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen Rudin with the Toshiba Stroke Research Center\, working on vessel sizing and detector performance characterization. After his undergraduate studies\, Dr. Szczykutowicz came to the University of Wisconsin–Madison where he earned his Masters and PhD in Medical Physics\, receiving mentorship from Doctors Charles 'Chuck' Mistretta and Guang-Hong Chen. His dissertation was on fluence field modulated CT\, a promising x-ray imaging technique that allows for imaging dose to be tailored to individuals. After his dissertation work\, Dr. Szczykutowicz spent a year as a doctrinal fellow and imaging physics resident with the Department of Medical Physics at the UW before being appointed as a clinical health sciences Assistant Professor. The clinical and research activities of Dr. Szczykutowicz include: optimizing CT scan protocols\, monitoring patient dose\, developing new metrics to define image quality in the clinical setting\, developing protocol management methodologies\, fluence field modulated CT\, dual energy CT\, and assisting in various projects related to cone beam CT.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Graduate Interdisciplinary Roundtable on South Asia | Keynote: Thinking About Politics in South Asian Studies
DESCRIPTION:See details of the full CSAS Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference on South Asia here: https://ii.umich.edu/csas/news-events/events.detail.html/65329-16571523.html\n\nIn this talk Professor Harriss will reflect on the ways in which patterns of political mobilization and participation in India over the period since Independence have been understood\, drawing on the work of historians and anthropologists\, as well of political scientists. How has democracy worked in practice in a context in which\, as Barrington Moore argued\, there had been no ‘bourgeois revolution’? Is India still to be understood as a ‘patronage democracy’? Has the significance of ideological cleavages emphatically replaced that of social cleavages? Is Indian politics best understood through specifically Indian concepts? He will consider these and other questions about knowledge of Indian politics.\n\nJohn Harriss\, now Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University\, Vancouver\, and formerly of the the London School of Economics\, began studies of South Asia after driving overland from England to India in 1969. His research has ranged widely from work on agrarian change and labour studies to recent work on business and politics. He is the author (with Stuart Corbridge) of \"Reinventing India\,\" among other books.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
