Sydney Clinical Imaging Summit 2024
Thank you to all who joined us and presented at our 2024 Sydney Clinical Imaging Summit on Tuesday, 5th March 2024! The event program included presentations from our leaders and emerging researchers within the imaging community and was successful in showing the innovation, diversity of research and opportunity across the university.
The event highlighted how the Sydney Clinical Imaging Network is facilitating collaborations and partnerships across the University and our esteemed speakers presented about the strategic initiatives relevant to clinical imaging, with topics including developments in Biologically Targeted Radiotherapy, Total Body PET, the National Imaging Database Australia (NIDA) and the Australian Imaging Service (AIS).
Congratulations to our EMCR awards winners:
We would like to congratulate our Early-Mid Career Researchers who recieved awards at this event. The EMCR Best Presentation awards were presented to speakers in the Research Showcase session who were outstanding in highlighting the ongoing impact and innovation in Clinical Imaging.
The session includied presentations from emerging EMCRs and HDR students from the Brain and Mind Centre, Image X Institute and Sydney Medical School on the developments in numerous modalities for imaging the brain, lungs, liver, prostate, thyroid and more.
- EMCR Best Presentation, Winner - Dr Marshall Dalton
- EMCR Best Presentation, Finalist - Dr Chandrima Sengupta
- EMCR Best Presentation, Finalist - Mr James Grover
