Woodard’s accomplishments include clinical translation of a technique to decrease motion artifact in MRI scans, nanoparticle-based PET imaging radiotracer\u00a0development targeting atherosclerotic plaques, and pioneering use of multidetector spiral CT for diagnosing pulmonary embolisms, the university noted in its announcement.<\/p>\n

She has led the Training Opportunities in Translational Imaging Education and Research (TOP-TIER) program at MIR since its inception in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Woodard joined the WashU Medicine faculty in 1997.
