The Scoop on Ultrasound

S3 E08: The Art and Science of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Regenerative Medicine with Leslie Aja

Sometimes a career chooses you, and that’s how MSK ultrasound found Leslie Aja. With nearly 20 years of experience across OB-GYN, vascular, pediatric, abdominal, and MSK imaging, Leslie built a career rooted in curiosity and persistence. What began as a challenge grew into a purpose: using ultrasound not only to diagnose but to guide treatment, train clinicians, and expand access to care. Today, she teaches ultrasound-guided regenerative procedures and contributes to international healthcare efforts through RAD-AID, including work in Liberia where only five radiologists support a population of five million. Her insights highlight why MSK ultrasound requires discipline and why education is the key to advancing regenerative medicine. Whether you are in regenerative medicine or simply exploring ultrasound for the first time, Leslie’s journey offers clarity and motivation.

S3 E07: How Focused Ultrasound is Rewriting Immunotherapy with Dr. Natasha Sheybani

Cancer care is entering a new era, one where imaging doesn’t just help us see, but helps us treat disease with precision, safety, and hope. In this week's episode of The Scoop on Ultrasound, we sit down with Dr. Natasha Sheybani, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia, with courtesy appointments in Radiology, Medical Imaging, and Neurosurgery.  As the Research Director of UVA’s Focused Ultrasound Cancer Immunotherapy Center, Dr. Sheybani is pioneering ways to use focused ultrasound not only to target tumors, but to activate the immune system, enhance drug delivery, and reshape the future of oncology. Dr. Sheybani shares how innovation, translational research, and patient-centered science are bringing us closer to safer, more effective cancer treatments, and what the future of non-invasive, immune-activating therapy could mean for patients everywhere.

S3 E05: From OB-GYN to MFM: A Sonographer’s Journey with Dr. Vladimir Lemaire

From delivering babies in Haiti to scanning high-risk pregnancies in a busy U.S. teaching hospital, Dr. Lemaire has built a career that blends medical precision with a deep commitment to patient care. After eight years as an obstetrician, he transitioned to perinatal sonography, becoming certified in Doppler ultrasound, trained in general and echocardiography modalities, and adept at diagnosing complex fetal anomalies. He approaches every scan with the same philosophy: skill matters, but empathy matters just as much. Whether explaining findings to ease a parent’s anxiety or promoting collaboration among colleagues to balance heavy workloads, he works to ensure both technical excellence and human connection. This is a story of global experience, cultural insight, and dedication to making ultrasound standards accessible to francophone clinicians. It is also a reminder that the best imaging happens when protocols are balanced with clinical intuition.
