About

The Heinz S. Weens Lecture is held each fall in memory of Dr. Heinz S. Weens, the first chairman of the Department of Radiology and a pioneer in the field of radiology. Dr. Weens was an innovative researcher, engaged physician and inspiring mentor who embodied the department’s tripartite mission of clinical care, education, and research. Every year, the Weens Lecture brings together the Emory Radiology and Imaging Sciences family, including alumni, for an enjoyable evening celebrating the creative and transformational power of the image. 

Weens Lecture will be back in the future and is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
