The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) announced a number of awards at its annual meeting last week in National Harbor, MD.
The society inducted Dr. Daniel Rubin of Stanford University into the SIIM College of Fellows on June 1. A professor of biomedical data science, radiology, medicine (biomedical informatics), and ophthalmology (courtesy) at Stanford, Rubin is also the principal investigator at two centers in the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Quantitative Imaging Network and is director of biomedical informatics at the Stanford Cancer Institute. Rubin also leads the Research Informatics Center at Stanford's School of Medicine.
A new award, Best Scientific Paper, was presented at SIIM 2018 to a research team led by Dr. Simukayi Mutasa of Columbia University Medical Center for a paper titled "Predicting breast cancer molecular subtype with an MRI dataset." This paper also received the Bauman Award for the best student paper at the meeting.
In addition, SIIM awarded its first-place prize in the category of scientific posters and demonstrations to a team led by Dr. Peter Kamel of Johns Hopkins Hospital for its project, "Dashboard for big data analysis of detection and communication of critical findings."
