London Imaging Discovery Day was launched in 2006 as a platform for scientists and residents in radiology and nuclear medicine to share their research with mentors, peers, graduate students, and others. This conference, coordinated by the Department of Medical Imaging at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, was another brilliant idea conceived by Dr. Aaron Fenster, Director of Imaging Sciences and Dr. Andrea Lum, Chair of Medical Imaging and City-Wide Chief of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology.
The LID conference focuses on Functional, Morphological and Molecular Imaging and targets London’s current and future leaders in Imaging Research, to meet and share their most advanced discoveries. London is a major, leading center for the medical industry and over the past 10 years, the LID conference has grown and now attracts interest from the rest of Canada and from the United States.
Residents and graduate students present their research projects. Their posters and oral presentations are judged every year by our expert panel of judges.
Tuesday June 21, 2016 will mark the 11th Annual London Imaging Discovery, an event showcasing the best and brightest residents, fellows, and scientists Schulich Medicine & Dentistry, Medical Imaging has to offer. This year, the venue will be at The Mercato, Brescia University College, 1285 Western Road.
The objectives of the event are as follows:
- To provide a forum for trainees, residents, and graduate students
- To enable residents and graduate students to learn and experience presenting to an audience
- To facilitate a congregation of knowledge with an extensive poster exhibition of research with the department
- To invite Keynote speakers on education and research to showcase their expertise
- To further develop the CANMEDS roles of Communicator and Collaborator through the focus on leadership development and relationship building
The event is free, open to all, and is a great opportunity to review the research at hand, enjoy refreshments and good company, and celebrate our successes over the past year.
