SIIM 2007 Scientific Sessions

Back to Educational Program  

The scientific sessions are the heart of the meeting, and each session features moderated, peer-reviewed presentations grouped into related categories.

This year, SIIM introduces 3 Featured Scientific Sessions, each including a combination of invited speakers and scientific abstract presentations, all related to one topic. Two invited speakers will participate in each session and highlight the scientific talks. The scientific program also features a poster and demonstration session/ prizes, and the Roger A. Bauman Award for Best Student Paper.
