2024 Outstanding Presentation Awards

The ASNR Education Committee, chaired by Wende Gibbs, MD, MA, and Joshua P. Nickerson, MD, FACR, is proud to announce the 2024 ASNR Outstanding Project Awards (formerly the ASNR Outstanding Presentation Awards).

Slide summaries from this year’s oral abstracts were reviewed before the ASNR24 meeting in Las Vegas, May 18-22, 2024, by members of the ASNR Education Committee, members of the ASNR Fellowship Directors Committee, and representatives from four societies (SNIS, ASHNR, ASPNR, ASSR), and winners were selected based on these review grades and comments. Congratulations to the authors and presenters of these exceptional projects!
