Radiology Asia, the region’s only bi-annual conference
bringing together medical imaging professionals, healthcare providers,
equipment manufacturers, medical academics and scientist communities in the
radiology field in South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, will address the
rising need for a value-based approach through appropriate utilisation of
services.
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.
Conference Highlights
THE FUTURE OF RADIOLOGY – HYBRID IMAGING TECHNOLOGY THROUGH
PET-MRI SCANS IN DEMENTIA
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.
PET-MRI will be among the various advanced imaging
modalities that are covered in the Radiology Asia neuro-imaging conference
track in which diagnosis of important diseases like dementia and stroke are
covered. In the midst of these discussions, delegates will learn from renowned
international experts on the role imaging plays in current clinical practice,
and become better equipped to appropriately use imaging technology in their
daily work. These are in line with the broader goals of value-based practice,
where better health outcomes are the ultimate goal of medical treatments.
THE CENTS OF IMAGING – INAUGURAL CONFERENCE TRACK
A unique conference track entitled “Making Cents of Imaging”
directly addressing commercial leaders and imaging equipment vendors in the
radiology practice will be introduced at the conference for the first time,
where industry trends, technological advances and professional challenges will
form part of a suite of wide-ranging business topics that will be covered.
Speakers and moderators comprised of healthcare industry and
Radiology leaders from Singapore and other parts of Asia will discuss topics
surrounding the business of Radiology in the region, as well as how the
practice should adapt to meet future demand for Radiology as a diagnostic
service, by employing disruptive technological advancements to increase
productivity, through the use of teleradiology and more recently, artificial intelligence.
WORKSHOPS IN INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY IN SINGAPORE
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.
