SIIM 2010 Call for Abstracts

SIIM 2010 Call for Abstracts:

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine, the leading international society in imaging informatics, will host its 2010 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis Minnesota, June 3-6, 2010. At the SIIM 2009 Annual Meeting attendees experienced a rejuvenated Scientific Program, not only in the quality of research being presented, but through innovative peer-oriented sessions. Scientific presenters had the opportunity to provide immediate feedback to attendees’ questions and comments through pioneering conference texting techniques. Presenters in the highly-rated scientific posters & demonstrations session had the opportunity to convey their research one-on-one with peers and experts alike through roving tours during the Posters and Demonstrations session. These combined activities made SIIM’s 2009’s Scientific Sessions some of the best attended sessions at the Annual Meeting!
