Gabriela Feliciano Wins 2nd Place for Technologist Student Abstract in the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting
Gabriela Feliciano, a recent graduate of the Lifespan School of Medical Imaging’s Nuclear Medicine Technology Program, presented an abstract titled “177 Lu-Dotatate therapy for inoperable or metastasized gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: How often do patients discontinue treatment early and why?” during the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting, held on June 11-15, 2021.
The presentation won 2nd place by SNMMI with this praise: "Feliciano presented excellently - she was poised, engaging and answered all questions regarding her research with precision and accuracy. Over 80 student abstracts from across the country were submitted. Only 25 of those were selected to present during the virtual meeting. During the presentations the students were judged on their research and presentation delivery. It is our great pleasure to share with you that Feliciano was awarded 2nd place in the Technologist Student Abstract category."
A special thanks to Dr. Noto, Leigh-Ann DiGregorio (2020 LSMI NMT graduate and originator of this project), and the Diagnostic Imaging Research team at Rhode Island Hospital for their guidance and support in completing this research.
