Dr
Tilman Emrich is awarded Barclay Medal
Barclay Medal Winner
On 3 November 2016, at the BIR Annual Congress, Dr Tilman Emrich was awarded the Barclay Medal. He was presented with the award by the President of the BIR, Mr Andy Rogers.
Dr Emrich won his award for his paper: “Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
enables diagnosis in 90% of patients with acute chest pain, elevated biomarkers
and unosbstructed coronary arteries.”

The Barclay Award was founded in 1952 in
memory of Dr Alfred Ernest Barclay, who bequeathed a legacy for the general
purposes of the British Journal of Radiology. Awarded annually to the person, whether a member of the institute or not whose contribution to the journal
over a period of years has been of special merit, contributing particularly to
the science and practice of radiology.
Dr Emrich trained in medicine at the
Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany. He now works there as a senior
practitioner in the department of diagnostic and interventional radiology. The
focus of his research is implementation of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
in NSTEMI and MINOCA and the use of T1- and T2-Mapping in cardiomyopathies and
the general population.
Andy Rogers said, “It gives me great
pleasure to honour these two recipients with BJR awards and we wish them well
with their research projects in the future. These two awards represent
different ends of the research spectrum and it is a delight to both encourage
young researchers and also to recognise outstanding achievement.”
Dr Emrich said, “Thank you so much for
choosing our paper! The whole cardiac group in Mainz is proud and happy that
our work is honoured by the British Institute of Radiology”.
Dr
Sonja Gordic receives Young Investigator award
BJR Young Investigator Winner
The BJR Young Investigator award was
awarded to Dr Sonja Gordic for her BJR paper “Whole-body CT-based imaging
algorithm for multiple trauma patients: radiation dose and time to diagnosis”. http://www.birpublications.org/doi/full/10.1259/bjr.20140616
The award is made annually to a BJR author within five years of appointment to a senior post at the time of submission of the best original research paper published in BJR during the calendar year.
Dr Gordic trained in medicine at the
University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland. She continued her training in
radiology there and since November 2015 has been a research fellow at the
Department of Radiology, in the Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute
at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA.
