The Center for Virtual Imaging Trials (CVIT) and the Clinical Imaging Physics Group (CIPG) are excited to announce their participation in the upcoming American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Conference 2024. This event brings together medical physics professionals from all over the United States to discuss the latest advancements and research.
CVIT and CIPG researchers will present eight studies covering radiology and nuclear medicine. Several of our lab faculty members have been invited to present at the conference. Dr. Ehsan Abadi and Dr. Justin Solomon have both been invited to speak in a session on optimizing protocols and workflows for diagnostic quality. Dr. Joseph Lo is invited to speak on AI for Breast Image Interpretation. Additionally, Dr. Ehsan Samei, former AAPM president, will give three presentations during the conference, focusing on digital twins, virtual clinical trials, and the new CMS rule.
