Celebrating the Department of Radiology's Annual Morris Simon Radiology Research Day

Thank you for all of your contributions to a very successful 8th Annual Morris Simon Radiology Research Day! View the complete list of Simon Day posters, presentations, and awards here.

Attracting a full house, this year's event took place on Tuesday, June 4, in the Kirstein Living Room on East Campus. Attendees enjoyed light refreshments and conversation before our trainee poster session, selected trainee research and PQI project presentations, and research awards.

Thank you to all faculty, trainees, and researchers who submitted abstracts for consideration—we had an amazing response rate of 71 submissions this year! Thank you, also, to the Morris Simon Research Day Abstract Review Committee: Drs. David Alsop, Alexander Brook, Olga Brook, Deborah Burstein, Katja De Paepe, Ritu Gill, Marwan Moussa, and Salil Soman.

This year's selected research work focused on improving the quality of what we do as a department, which is an essential requisite for a high-functioning team. This impressive portfolio included comprehensive translational work, outcomes improvement studies, tech development presentations, and PQI projects aimed at providing better service, working more efficiently, and adding value to our care. You can view copies of the 2024 accepted posters and presentations below.

Next, I would like to congratulate all 49 of our presenters and their 28 mentors, as well as our research award winners and their mentors, who are listed below. Your work was truly outstanding and undoubtedly deserving of these departmental awards!

Additionally, congratulations to our Outstanding Mentor Award recipients:
