He received the Dyke Memorial Award from the American Society of Neuroradiology in 1984 for his early research, which demonstrated publicly for the first time the potential, as well as early diagnostic utility, of intravenous contrast media in MRI, specifically the gadolinium chelates. In 2011 he received the Harry Fisher Award from the Contrast Media Research Society, recognizing his outstanding research in the field of contrast media over many years. In addition to his career as a clinician and an educator, Dr. Val Runge is an experienced medical researcher and writer. He has published 16 clinical textbooks, with many translated into foreign languages, including German, Chinese, Polish and Turkish. These are focused on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), contrast media in MRI, and the field of neuroradiology. Dr. Runge’s research includes more than 200 published, peer reviewed articles that have appeared in leading medical journals including Radiology, Investigative Radiology, European Radiology, the American Journal of Neuroradiology, the American Journal of Roentgenology, Blood, and Circulation.
Specializing in the field of diagnostic radiology, Dr. Val Runge evaluates the results of medical images. These may include X-rays like CAT scans or MRIs. Diagnostic radiologists may specialize in evaluating the results of a specific imaging modality, or in the diagnosis of a specific disease, such as cancer. Medical imaging techniques are typically used to diagnose and evaluate conditions like cancer or a broken leg.
As a neuroradiologist, Dr. Runge utilizes a variety of neuroimaging devices and equipment to diagnose and treat neurological diseases affecting the nervous system, head, neck, and spine.
