| Starting
with the 2006 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference* both the NMISC Young
Investigator and Edward J. Hoffman Medical Imaging Science Awards
will now be given annually instead of only in odd/even-numbered
years as has been done previously.
Both awards are sponsored by the IEEE-NPSS Nuclear and Medical Imaging
Sciences Council (NMSIC), which is the steering committee for the
annual Medical Imaging Conference. At the 2004 meeting, the NMISC
a motion was made to request permission from NPSS AdCom to award
the Young Investigator and Medical Imaging Scientist awards every
year. The motion was passed with overwhelming support given the
number and caliber of applicants for both awards.
The deadline for application for both awards is July 15, 2006 for
the 2006 awards. More details and application forms are available
on the NPSS awards website:

presented at the IEEE NPSS Medical Imaging Conference.
SELECTION CRITERIA:
Nominees will be judged according to their contributions to medical
imaging science as demonstrated by the technical merit and creativity
of their research. Priority will be given to nominees whose research
has been published in peer-reviewed journals, especially if the

DESCRIPTION:
This award is given annually (previously only in even-numbered years)
to an individual in recognition of outstanding contributions to
the field of medical imaging science. The award, consisting of $2,000,
a certificate, and a plaque, is presented at the IEEE Medical Imaging
Conference.
SELECTION CRITERIA:
In selecting the recipient of this award, primary consideration
will be given to the impact and innovativeness of a nominee's research
in the field of medical imaging science. Other factors include a
nominee's research contributions over a career and his/her influence
on medical imaging science through education.
ELIGIBILITY:
The nominee is not required to be a member of the NPSS or IEEE but,
where candidates have otherwise equal qualifications, preference
