5 Reasons to Attend ESGAR

The European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) is a not-for-profit scientific organisation that was established by radiologists who work in close association with gastroenterologists, hepatologists, abdominal surgeons, pathologists, and other allied specialists. The annual meeting of ESGAR is held in a different European country each year and covers a specific topic that is related to the main theme of Abdominal Imaging and Intervention. The meeting includes educational lectures, workshops, scientific presentations and satellite symposia. 

The year, the ESGAR Annual Meeting will be held on June 20-23, 2017 in Athens, Greece. Here are five reasons to attend ESGAR:
