2016 SAR Annual Scientific Meeting and Educational Course

The SAR 2016 Annual Scientific Meeting and Educational Course will be held, March 13 - 18, 2016 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

This annual meeting was formerly called the Abdominal Radiology Course and is a presentation of the Society of Abdominal Radiology (formerly the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists and the Society of Uroradiology). The course encompasses the full range of activities that constitute contemporary abdominal radiology including: all methods of diagnostic imaging and radiologic intervention, with emphasis on state-of-the-art utilization, performance and interpretation; new and innovative approaches to abdominal and pelvic pathology; major issues, and common problems in gastrointestinal and genitourinary radiology; and assessment of major abdominal pathology with sessions devoted to exploring the latest imaging techniques utilized in evaluation of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems. These topics will be addressed in didactic lectures, panel discussions, self-assessment modules (SAMs), interactive workshops, and six hands-on training workshops.

The extensive variety of small group workshops and SAMs will enable participants to tailor their learning experience according to their individual needs. The Scientific Paper Sessions of the Society will be open to all members. Numerous educational and scientific posters spanning all aspects of abdominal imaging will be available to all course participants for study throughout the meeting. Designed primarily for radiologists in practice and in training, this course will also benefit all physicians who care for patients with gastrointestinal and genitourinary disease.
