The Caffey Award for Best Clinical Science or Education Paper is the Society for Pediatric Radiology's highest scientific honor. This year it was awarded to a team of Children’s Hospital Colorado researchers from radiology, cardiology and the Colorado Fetal Care Center, including Lorna Browne, MD, and Alex Barker, PhD, for a paper, titled, “Predictive Capability of Fetal 4D Flow and Black Blood Slice to Volume Reconstruction for Prenatal Diagnosis of Coarctation of the Aorta." The report describes the team’s development of a new method for diagnosing aortic coarctation, a heart defect that is sometimes called the “Achilles’ heel” of fetal cardiology. The research showed the technique can predict this disease's presence with a high sensitivity and specificity, which will help children receive essential care sooner.
