Hugh
Curtin, MD
Professor, Harvard
Medical School
Chief of Radiology, MEEI
Professor Curtin completed his medical degree at Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, and undertook his radiology residency at the Presbyterian University Hospital in Pittsburgh. He later completed a fellowship in head and neck radiology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. He is probably best known as co-editor of 'Head and Neck Imaging', considered the definitive reference for head and neck imaging and now in its fourth edition.
Phoenix Conferencing is proud to support Professor Curtin's participation in RADaim 2009.

Professor David Jaffray, PhD
Head, Radiation Physics, Ontario Cancer Institute / Princess Margaret Hospital
Dr. Jaffray oversees and directs the physics aspects of the radiation medicine program at the Princess Margaret Hospital. Dr. Jaffray is also a Principal in the Image-Guided Therapy (IGTx) Group at the Ontario Cancer Institute and holds the Fidani Chair in Radiation Therapy Physics at Princess Margaret Hospital and the University Health Network. His research focuses on the development of novel imaging systems and concepts to improve the precision of therapy by generating images at the time of therapy for the purpose of guiding the treatment delivery.
Dr Jaffray's involvement in RADaim 2009 is proudly supported by Elekta.
Stuart
MirvisProfessor, Department of Diagnostic Radiology , University of Maryland School of Medicine
Professor Mirvis graduated from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1979. He undertook radiology residency, followed by a fellowship in trauma radiology, at the University of Maryland Hospital. Professor Mirvis' interests include trauma radiology, angiography and interventional radiology. He has authored or co-authored over 250 articles, case reports and book chapters, and has received a number of awards, including the Gold Medal of the American Society of Emergency Radiology, and the Shock-Trauma Hero Award. He is a highly sought speaker around the globe, with appearances at international meetings as far afield as Iceland, Norway, England and South Africa.
Phoenix Conferencing has great pleasure in supporting Professor Mirvis to RADaim 2009.
