Post by Prof. Dr. Saif Afat

Everyone is posting about #RSNA2025… but not me. I just returned from Chicago — almost 24 hours without sleep (this is why I look terrible) — and then I opened my mailbox and saw this 😍😍😍😍 The exhaustion disappeared instantly. PD Dr. med. Saif Afat is now officially ➡️➡️➡️Prof. Dr. med. Saif Afat. A milestone I dreamed of for years. And one I could never have reached alone. First, my deepest thanks to my boss, mentor and role model, Prof. Dr. Konstantin Nikolaou for endless support, guidance, and for being there every time I needed him. To my family: thank you for tolerating my madness, my workload, my chaos — and for being my motivation and backbone every single day. ❤️ To my three Senseis: thank you for your wisdom, honesty and mentorship throughout this journey. Fabian Bamberg Mike Notohamiprodjo Ahmed Othman Martin Wiesmann To my friends, colleagues and especially our incredible team in Tübingen: this title is yours as much as it is mine. To the German Radiology Society (Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft e.V.) and the European Society of Radiology: Thank you for believing in me and even supporting my sometimes… unconventional ideas. 😄 If this journey taught me one thing, it’s this: Keep dreaming. Work hard. Surround yourself with great people. Do that — and you will achieve greatness. Dr. Louis Bahlmann PD Dr. med. Judith Herrmann Assoc. Prof. (PD) Dr. med. Andreas S. Brendlin PD Dr. med.
