The Hussein M. Abdel-Dayem, MD Award
for the Abstract Presented with the Highest Scientific Merit
Dr. Hussein Abdel-Dayem, MD, was a pioneer and international leader in the field of nuclear medicine. The nuclear medicine and molecular imaging community lost a brilliant physician-scientist, an inspiring educator, and a devoted mentor when he passed away on March 12, 2017. Over his prolific 50-year career, Dr. Abdel-Dayem published hundreds of journal articles and trained scores of residents and fellows in nuclear medicine and radiology. A masterful communicator, he lectured around the world, always emphasizing the multicultural and international nature of the nuclear medicine community. So it is fitting that The Greater New York/New England Chapters of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging created this award.
