Each year the AAPM conducts a Young Investigators' Competition for the Annual Meeting. Young Investigators were encouraged to submit abstracts for the competition. The 10 highest scored Young Investigator submissions determined by abstract reviewers are selected to be presented in a special symposium, in honor of University of Wisconsin Professor Emeritus John R. Cameron, Ph.D.
The Memorial Session in Honor of John R. Cameron: Young Investigators Symposium will be held Sunday, July 24 in Room 6C of the Convention Center.
The top 3 winners will be recognized during the AAPM Awards and Honors Ceremony Monday, July 25 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm in Ballroom 6A, of the Convention Center.

An award for Junior Investigators has been established in honor of Dr. Jack Fowler, Emeritus Professor of Human Oncology and Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin.
Junior Investigators were encouraged to submit abstracts for the competition. The top scoring Junior Investigator submission determined by abstract reviewers was selected.
The winner will be announced during the AAPM Awards and Honors Ceremony Monday, July 25 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm in Ballroom 6A, of the Convention Center and will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on Monday night during the Annual Meeting.
| Reviewer's Choice Selections |
Over 1100 abstracts were submitted for scientific review this year. Each abstract was reviewed independently and anonymously by at least three reviewers. The following abstracts were chosen as the highest ranked by the reviewers, and represent an excellent cross section of high quality research on current topic in the field. These abstracts will be presented in sessions matching their category, but with an extended time period to permit a more in-depth presentation and discussion.
