2025 Best Abstract Award Webinar

Join us for the presentation of the top abstracts submitted to SCCT2025. The top scorers will present their research and answer questions.

The Best Abstract Award is supported by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation of Southern California and the Ma Family, who have generously provided a $5,000 award for a first place winner. Their aim is to support the professional and clinical development of top radiology residents and cardiology fellows with recognition and financial support. Finalists and winners are determined by receiving overall top scores through a three round scoring process.

Winners will be announced at during the SCCT2025 Annual Scientific Meeting in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. 

Each of the finalists will present their research and then take questions from the audience.
