The CT CIC Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary!

Toasts were raised, memories were shared, and two full decades of cutting edge science were celebrated as the CT CIC held a dinner on September 23rd, 2024 at the Mayo Foundation House honoring it's 20th anniversary.

The dinner brought together CIC team members new and old, our partners from Siemens Healthineers, and fellow Mayo collaborators for comradery, a great meal, and presentations from former Siemens Director of CT Physics and Application Development, Thomas Flohr--who helped to open the CIC in 2004--on the effect the Mayo-Siemens collaboration has had on CT technology and CIC Medical Director Joel G. Fletcher on how the CIC had changed the CT practice here at the Mayo Clinic.
