With help from the Department of Radiology’s Research and Development fund, five medical students paired with research mentors to complete projects for the Shapiro Summer Research Program and presented their research on November 26.
Students Joshua Bakke and Nicholas Stabo worked with Perry Pickhardt, M.D. Joshua Bakke’s project was titled, “Colonic Fluid Volume Comparison of Cathartic Bowel Preparations for Computed Tomographic Colonography,” and Nicholas Stabo’s project was titled, “CT Volumetric Tumor Measurement for Assessing Treatment Response.”

According to Lynne Cleeland, Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs of University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and
Public Health, 90% of students who participated in the program rated their satisfaction high on a survey. Cleeland also
stated that the project is prompting many students to seriously consider academic medicine as a career path.
Congratulations to UW Radiology’s Shapiro students!
