Why Submit Your Work to ASE 2020?

I attended the ASE Scientific Sessions for the first time in 2018 and was amazed by the length and breadth of research and scientific discovery on display, along with the highly educational oral and poster presentations. The 2019 Scientific Sessions were much the same, if not better. “ – ASE 2019 Abstract Presenter
“ASE 2019 provided me many exciting moments, and enabled me to know not only the history but also current trends and future directions in echocardiography.” – ASE 2019 Abstract Presenter

Abstracts not selected as finalists in the competition will automatically be considered for general presentation.

2020 Brian Haluska Sonographer Research Award Competition
Supported by the ASE Foundation

Natalie Edwards, ACS, AMS, FASE, Prince Charles Hospital, won the 2019 competition for her work on “Resting Global Myocardial Work Derived from Non-Invasive Left Ventricular Pressure-Strain Loops Discriminates Between True Positive and False Positive Exercise Stress Echocardiography.” She is pictured here with the competition judges (left to right): Michael Main, MD, FASE; Sue Phillip, RDCS, FASE; Lanqi Hua, RDCS (AE/PE/FE), MS, FASE; and Theodore Abraham, MD, FASE.

Sonographer (non-physician) investigators who served as the primary investigator on their project are eligible to participate in this annual competition supported by the ASE Foundation in honor of Brian Haluska, PhD, MSC (HONS), RDCS, AMS, FASE, and his incredible contributions to sonographer-led research over the course of his career. Four finalists will be selected to make an oral presentation and a poster presentation of their research at the 31^st Annual ASE Scientific Sessions. The winner will be awarded $500. In addition, all four finalists will receive complimentary meeting registration. To be eligible, applicants must hold echocardiography certification from ARDMS or CCI, or an equivalent international sonography certification, and must indicate that they would like to be considered for the competition when submitting their work. Abstracts not selected as finalists in the competition will automatically be considered for general presentation.
