WASHINGTON, DC (July 20, 2024) — The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) announced its best original science award winners of the 19th Annual Scientific Meeting (SCCT2024) in Washington, DC.
The SCCT Best Abstract Award – supported by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation of Southern California (CVRF of So. Ca.) and the Ma Family, who provided a $5,000 case prize for the winner – is open to all abstracts submitted to the ASM, which included over 280 accepted manuscripts as part of the 2024 conference. Six finalists and three winners of the Best Abstract Award are determined by receiving overall top scores through a three-round scoring process by an independent judging panel led by Milind Desai, MD. Prior to the conference, an independent panel of judges led by Marcus Chen, MD selected two winners for the 18th Annual Canon Young Investigator Awards (YIA) in cardiovascular CT, sponsored by an educational grant from Canon Medical Systems, Inc. Authors of the two top-scoring abstracts for each award presented during the SCCT2024 Best Original Science session and winners were announced in front of an SCCT member audience. Brittany Weber, MD, PhD, of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, is the 2024 YIA winner for her abstract, "The Frequency, Prevalence, And Outcomes Of Incidentally Detected Coronary Artery Calcium Using Artificial Intelligence Analysis Among Patients With Immune Mediated Inflammatory Diseases.” First runner-up for the YIA is Seokhun Yang, MD, of Seoul National University Hospital, for his abstract, “Prognostic Implications Of Coronary CT Angiography-derived Plaque And Hemodynamic Features On Acute Coronary Syndrome Across Varying Time Intervals: Emerald-ii Study.” Dr. Yang is also winner of the SCCT Best Abstract Award for his submission, “Coronary CT Angiography-derived Precursors Of Acute Coronary Syndrome In Ischemia-causing Lesions.”
Haechan Cho, MD received Best Abstract first runner-up after presenting his abstract, “Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Versus Functional Testing In Patients With Diabetes And Suspected Coronary Artery Disease: Real-world Evidence From The Nationwide Cohort.” Second runner-up is Marcel Langenbach, MD for his abstract, "Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Density Relates To Increased Cardiovascular Adverse Events In Patients With Stable Chest Pain: Insights From The PROMISE Trial." Along with a cash prize, YIA winners receive a plaque, one-year free membership to SCCT and free registration for SCCT2025, to be held July 17 - 20, 2025 in Montreal, Canada. All YIA and Best Abstract finalist manuscripts are published in the SCCT2024 supplement of the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography ( JCCT). ### About the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography Founded in 2005, the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) is the international professional society devoted to improving health outcomes through effective use of cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT), with members from over 85 countries.
