For the first time, this year\u2019s cohort of Distinguished Investigators will include researchers from both Academy member imaging societies as well as partners in industry. \u201cCollectively, the research conducted by these Distinguished Investigators has advanced medical imaging knowledge in immeasurable ways,\u201d stated Renee L. Cruea, the Academy\u2019s Executive Director. \u201cExpanding this council\u2019s reach by including these significant contributors to medical imaging research, alongside their colleagues from the academic space, highlights and recognizes the broad influence and reach of imaging research overall.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese Distinguished Investigators represent the future of imaging, advancing the field overall as well as developing ways to significantly improve patient care through their research efforts.\u201d said Elizabeth A. Krupinski, PhD, Council of Distinguished Investigators Co-Chair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
