Each year at the ISCD’s Annual Business Meeting, ISCD members are recognized for their service to the ISCD and to the field of densitometry. All awards are available for nomination during a designated period each year. Nominees must be an ISCD member in good standing. Below is a list of available awards and their significance.

It is a highlight of the year to honor and celebrate the incredible members that are advancing Skeletal Health through excellence and research. This year’s recipients will receive their awards at our Annual Business Meeting in Boston, MA as part of our 2025 Conference on Skeletal Health Assessment.

In Boston, we will also celebrate our 2024 Award Recipients who were recognized virtually last year during the annual business meeting.
