2021 Outstanding Scientific Presentation Awards

The Outstanding Presentation Awards Committee of the ASNR evaluates the scientific presentations from the Annual Meeting to determine the most impactful and well-presented contributions to neuroradiology. The seven presentations listed below demonstrate the best scientific work of ASNR. We congratulate the winners, and we hope that the monetary awards will help to encourage further high-quality research in neuroradiology.
