The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) has announced the finalists for the 9th annual Toshiba Young Investigator Awards.
Underwritten by Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc, Tustin, Calif, the YIA program supports the professional and clinical development of top radiology residents and cardiology fellows within five years of completing a training program.
Each applicant submitted an abstract and a mini-manuscript of 1,000 words concerning research related to the technical and clinical advancement of cardiovascular CT. Each of the five finalists will be granted a complimentary SCCT membership for one year, a $1,000 travel stipend, and free registration to the society’s 10th annual scientific meeting in Las Vegas, where they will give an oral presentation. Manuscripts and presentations will be judged by an independent panel, and two winners will be recognized. The award winners’ manuscripts will be eligible for priority peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.
“The SCCT and Toshiba share the commitment to fostering the development of radiology residents and cardiology fellows in becoming tomorrow’s diagnostic imaging leaders,” said Satrajit Misra, senior director of the CT business unit at Toshiba. “Toshiba’s continued sponsorship of this award is a testament to our mission to make a difference by supporting innovative solutions and new approaches to quality patient care and safety in medical imaging.”
