John K. Lattimer Award

Michael Knopp, MD, PhD, Department Chair and holder of the Novartis Chair in the OSU Department of Radiology, gave the honorary John K. Lattimer plenary lecture May 10 at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in San Francisco and was presented the John K. Lattimer Award -- both in honor of his outstanding advances in the field. Knopp is a world-renowned expert in the research and clinical applications of magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and computed tomography scans. He heads Ohio's first Wright Center of Innovation in Biomedical Imaging, a $17 million joint effort with Case Western Reserve University and Phillips Medical Systems, Cleveland, that is part of an overall $50 million collaboration.
