Roger A. Bauman, MD Award
The Roger A. Bauman, MD Award is presented for the best student paper each year at the annual meeting. This award was named to honor Dr. Bauman’s distinguished career in radiological informatics research and practice and his status as founding editor of the Journal of Digital Imaging.
Dr. Peter Chang’s early research success has focused on developing medical software that integrates computer vision and machine learning techniques to analyze radiology images. His work has been recognized on the national level, including the 2015 Roentgen Resident Research Award and the 2014-15 Introduction to Academic Radiology Award. He has authored multiple papers, patents, abstracts, presentations and book chapters. He was presented with The Roger A. Bauman Award for his paper, “Deep Learning for Radiographic Image Segmentation." This is the second time Chang has won the award. His first time was in 2015 for his paper, “Fully Automated Quantitative Scoring of VASARI Glioma Imaging Features Demonstrates High Interobserver Agreement with Expert Neuroradiologists.” Chang completed his undergraduate and medical school training at Northwestern University, graduating summa cum laude and inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society for excellence in scholarship and service. He is completing his radiology residency at Columbia University’s New York Presbyterian Hospital.
