We invite you to attend the ARRS 2013 Annual Meeting at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC.

The meeting will offer 55.5 AMA PRA Category 1™ CME credits. Whether you seek credits in a particular subspecialty area or are interested in attending courses covering a variety of topics, the ARRS Annual Meeting is designed to meet your needs. Self-assessment module

(SAM) credits will be offered in each subspecialty area.

This year’s categorical course is on Body MRI. Chaired by Dr. Fergus Coakley and Dr. Koenraad Mortele, the program will focus on MRI of the abdomen, pelvis, breast, and musculoskeletal system. MR angiography will be discussed as well as technique, MRI safety, and quality assurance.

Our popular case-based imaging review course for residents and physicians in practice returns. Directed by Dr. Deborah Baumgarten, it includes 330 cases representing 11 subspecialty areas. ARRS is once again offering a Resident Track, which highlights various educational sessions of particular value to our in-training members.

The meeting includes three half-day courses on Sunday focusing on radiology education, item-writing, and business and practice. In addition, ARRS will be offering the “Great Debate” on lung cancer screening on Sunday. New this year is our Imaging Pitfalls Track. This track focuses on common and unusual diagnostic imaging pitfalls that occur throughout the body.

The ARRS is honored to work with the Italian Society of Medical Radiology (SIRM) to present the Global Exchange featuring Italy during the annual meeting. SIRM representatives will present educational courses with ARRS faculty, and award-winning SIRM electronic exhibits will be highlighted. Instructional courses taught by respected radiology educators, scientific sessions highlighting the latest in radiology research, and power hour sessions that feature authors of electronic exhibits discussing their exhibits complete the program.

We hope you will join us!
