The New Investigator Award is designed to encourage new clinical investigators to gain experience with performing and presenting ultrasound research early in their academic careers. The award, with a prize of $1000, is presented each year to a new investigator (resident, fellow, faculty member, or sonographer in practice fewer than 5 years) who presents the best scientific abstract.
Seven nominees presented the following abstracts, and the winner was announced at the AIUM Leadership banquet.
Congratulations to Dr Konofagou and the other nominees on a job well-done!
