Radiology Research Day

Research Day is the highlight of our academic calendar. It gives our faculty and trainees the opportunity to showcase their discoveries through presentation of their research. 

Each year, two radiology residents are chosen to represent the department at the Faculty Resident Research Awards Competition, and a faculty member is recognized for outstanding contribution to research through the Dr. Charles Lo Prize in Radiology Research.

Radiology Research Day

Thursday, May 9th, 2024

Our annual Radiology Research Day will be held on Thursday, May 9th, 2024 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. We will continue to offer a hybrid event, both on Teams and in person (Halifax venue TBA).  

The call for abstracts is now open!

If you are interested in presenting,* please e-mail us directly (radiology.research@dal.ca) for details on abstract submission. *Note that priority is given first to radiology residents, then to trainees supervised by a faculty member with a primary appointment in radiology, then to radiology faculty.
