optimizing image quality in adult head ct

I gave two presentations at the annual AAPM meeting in our nation's beautiful capitol, Washington DC.  I also heard amazing presentations from leaders in CT research and met with clinical scientists from Toshiba to discuss our ongoing research.

Our undergraduate research assistant, Catherine, also gave her first major presentation at a national conference (go Catherine!!). Several students from the University of Florida also presented their research.

Poster presentation at the Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Washington, DC. 
• C Carranza, I Lipnharski, N Quails, N Correa, L Rill, M Arreola. (2016, July). Direct Measurement of Organ Doses Resulting From Head and Cervical Spine Trauma CT Protocols. Poster presentation at the Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Washington, DC.

Following the conference, I had the chance to visit all of the touristic stops and explore the beautiful streets of DC. I am looking forward to returning again someday.
