o Andrew D. A. Maidment, PhD, assistant professor of radiology and 
director of radiological imaging physics, received the first prize of the 
Young Investigators Symposium Award of the International Union of Physical 
and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (IUPESM). This award is presented
every three years to an outstanding young scientist in the fields of
biomedical engineering or medical physics. Dr. Maidment's paper entitled
"Prototype Clinical Imaging System for Digital Mammography" and presented
in Rio de Janeiro, described work being performed at Jefferson and the
University of Toronto in the development of a digital mammography imaging
system that can image the entire breast. This is the first time a digital
imaging system has had the capability to compete successfully with film-
screen mammography. Clinical trials of the technique will begin here later
this year. Dr. Maidment's co-authors include Stephen A. Feig, MD, professor
of radiology and director of the Breast Imaging Center, and researchers in
the laboratory of Martin J. Yaffe, PhD, at the University of Toronto.

o Harvey J. Schwartz, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry and human 
behavior, Jefferson Medical College, has edited a new textbook,
"Psychodynamic Concepts in General Psychiatry." Dr. Schwartz was the 
director of residency education for 10 years at Jefferson and is a member of 
the Philadelphia Association for Psychoanalysis. He is the editor of three 
other psychiatric textbooks including one on the intensive treatment of 
patients with bulimia, a subject he updates in the current book.
