2016 ARRS Abdominal and Pelvic MR Imaging Symposium coming to Baltimore in September

The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) previewed its 2016 ARRS Abdominal and Pelvic MR Imaging Symposium earlier this week. The symposium will be held at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Md., from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1, 2016.

Hosts for the two-day program will be Fergus Coakley, MD, of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Ore., and Courtney Moreno, MD, of Emory University in Atlanta.

“The symposium is designed for all general and subspecialty radiologists whose work involves performing or interpreting MRI of the abdomen and pelvis for gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or other indications,” Coakley said in a prepared statement.

Throughout the program, nationally recognized experts in body MR will give presentations on “hepatic imaging, pancreaticobiliary disease, genitourinary disease, gynecology, gastrointestinal conditions and other hot topics,” according to the ARRS statement.  

More information on the symposium is available on the ARRS website.
