Alan Goldstein, MD Praised

A letter praising Alan Goldstein, MD for a clear MRI description used for patient care

Alan,

Just a quick not to say how helpful (and excellent) this report is.  I am helping with a renal cell cancer resection and I always find sifting through the MRI very challenging.  The clear description of the key finding with the key series/image makes her care so much better.  Thank you! 

“Tumor fills the right renal vein and extends into the inferior vena cava (well demonstrated on series 3, image 28). Tumor within the cava measures up to 3.5 cm in craniocaudal dimension. The distance between the upper-most margin of the tumor within the cava and the right atrium is 8.4 cm.”

Best,
Andy
