RadiologyAsia 2017, Singapore (Republic of Singapore)

RadiologyAsia 2017 brings together the medical imaging, informatics and clinical practice communities in Asia showcasing an elite scientific meeting that delivers the latest academic research alongside an exhibition which presents state-of-the-art technology for use in Radiology. With the growth in demand in Asia for medical imaging equipment and the rising demand for higher quality healthcare, RadiologyAsia 2017 is well placed to be the major radiology event for professionals to learn and network.

Jointly organised by SingEx Exhibitions, the Singapore Radiological Society (celebrating its 40th anniversary this year) and College of Radiologists Singapore, and held in conjunction with the Singapore Congress of Radiology (26th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Singapore Radiological Society and College of Radiologists Singapore), the 2-day conference from 19 – 20 May 2017 at MAX Atria @ Singapore EXPO will focus on how practitioners in the medical imaging profession may optimise imaging resources, and deliver better value by contributing to improved medical outcomes.

Themed “Bringing state-of-the-art imaging into clinical practice”, the conference is anticipated to attract close to 800 delegates from all over the world, featuring 50 renowned speakers, 8 workshops, 4 conference tracks covering more than 70 topics, while providing open business platforms for sharing and networking.

As medical therapies advance, earlier and more accurate methods of non-invasive diagnosis through imaging have become even more important. One such example is hybrid imaging combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Such methods extract the complementary strengths of anatomic depiction by MRI, with tissue function characteristic assessment by PET.

Alongside the conference, WIRES (Workshops in Interventional Radiology Education in Singapore) will be another important knowledge-sharing platform featured at Radiology Asia 2017.

WIRES will feature one scientific session comprising four conference topics, a lunch symposium jointly held with APSCVIR (Asia Pacific Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology) and four wide-ranging interventional focused workshops that pertain to new and novel methods of minimally invasive treatment of acute ischaemic stroke, aortic disease, and tumour ablation.
