FIND OUT WHO WILL WIN THE $10,000 GRAND PRIZE! 

Watch the finalists as they give their pitches on stage to a panel of judges representing top industry experts 

and investors during the SIIM 2019 Reception on Thursday, June 27. 

#AskIndustry Vendor Discussions 

Standing-room only discussions addressing timely topics in medical imaging informatics, and a great way 

for exhibitors to share their expertise to help solve every-day challenges faced by their customers. 

New Standard for Medical 3D Printing 

Medical 3D printing is in increasing use, creating surgical planning aids, prosthetics, implants, cutting 

guides, and other patient-specific objects. When dozens of 3D models are produced for a single patient, 

model storage and management can be a challenge. See examples and learn about the benefits of the new 

DICOM Encapsulated STL object for improved patient safety and streamlined workflow. 

Scientific Posters & Demonstrations 

Step into the Science & Innovation Pavilion in the Exhibit Hall to review the Scientific Posters & 

Demonstrations that will be on display throughout the meeting, and then engage with authors during 

Thursday evening’s reception. SIIM sponsors numerous awards throughout our Scientific Program to 

include Poster and Demonstration awards.

Opening General Session 

The Power of One SM — Changing 

the World One Person at a Time 

Allison Massari 

Healthcare Keynote Speaker, Executive Coach, Celebrated Artist, 

Burn Survivor 

Allison Massari knows that you have the power to transform lives. 

As the survivor of two life-threatening car accidents, one where she 

was severely burned and suffered second and third degree burns on 

over 50% of her body, Allison has a deep understanding of what it 

takes to heal. 

With sensitivity and compassion born from her experience, Allison 

shines light on the provider’s immense value to a patient who is 

suffering, reinvigorating employees and helping heal burnout in 

the workplace. 

“The power of what you 

do goes far beyond the 

technical part of your 

job. You are healing the 

places medicine cannot 

touch. In fact, YOU are 

the medicine.” 

— Massari 


Closing General Session – 

The 2019 Dwyer Lecture 

Making Imaging AI Safe, 

Effective, and Humane 

Charles E. Kahn Jr., 

MD, MS, FACR, FSIIM 

Professor and Vice Chair, Radiology, Senior Fellow, Institute for 

Biomedical Informatics, University of Pennsylvania Health System 

The past several years have seen remarkable progress in the 

hardware, software, and datasets needed to advance the field of 

machine learning, part of the broader study of artificial intelligence 

(AI). That progress has engendered excitement around the 

opportunities for research and commercialization of machine 

learning systems for medical imaging. 

Whether you are a physician, an imaging informatics scientist, a 

system developer or implementer, it’s critical that we all consider 

how these new technologies will meet the needs of patients and how 

they might change the way medicine is practiced. This presentation 

will discuss the challenges of assuring that the AI systems we deploy 

are accurate, safe, and effective. We also will consider some of the 

ethical dimensions of applying AI to medical imaging. 

“The goal of AI in medical 

imaging is not to replace 

humans, but to extend 

human abilities to provide 

medical care.” 

— Kahn
