The Young Investigator Medical Imaging Science Award
is given annually to a young individual in recognition of significant
and innovative technical contributions to the field of medical imaging
science. The award consists of $1,000, a certificate, and a plaque
presented at the IEEE NPSS Medical Imaging Conference.
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
nominee is the first author. Graduate students or other individuals,
whose highest degree was awarded no more than six years prior to
the date of nomination are eligible.
The Edward J. Hoffman Medical Imaging Scientist Award
is given annually to an individual in recognition of outstanding
contributions to the field of medical imaging science. The award,

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.
