Leesburg, VA – June 5, 2018 – The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) convened its SIIM 2018 Annual Meeting at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. The Society’s mission focuses on advancing the imaging informatics field by fostering education, research and innovation.

The SIIM Annual Meeting is where the enterprise imaging community comes together to recognize the achievements of its diverse membership. The following awards and prizes were presented during this year’s annual meeting.

New SIIM Fellow

Honors were awarded to Daniel L. Rubin, MD, MS with his induction into the SIIM College of Fellows on Friday, June 1. He is Professor of Biomedical Data Science, Radiology, Medicine (Biomedical Informatics), and Ophthalmology (courtesy) at Stanford University. He is Principal Investigator of two centers in the National Cancer Institute’s Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN) and is Director of Biomedical Informatics for the Stanford Cancer Institute. He also leads the Research Informatics Center (RIC) of the School of Medicine. Dr. Rubin’s exceptional accomplishments and talents reflect the highest standards of SIIM.

The Dwyer Lectureship

The 2018 Dwyer Lecture, “Imaging Collaboration: From Pen and Ink to Artificial Intelligence” was presented by Curt P. Langlotz, MD, PhD, FSIIM at the SIIM 2018 Closing General Session. Dr. Langlotz is responsible for the information technology that supports Stanford’s radiology practice, including 4.5 million imaging studies that require 0.5 petabytes of storage. His research laboratory investigates the use of deep neural networks and other machine learning technologies to help radiologists detect disease and eliminate diagnostic errors. His laboratory’s translational approach facilitates rapid evaluation and dissemination of the resulting algorithms. The Annual Dwyer Lecture features a SIIM Fellow as the presenter of a particularly relevant and insightful topic in honor of Samuel J. Dwyer III, PhD – the humble, prolific pioneer of digital medical imaging.
