MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Greetings from the College of Radiology (CoR), Academy of Medicine of Malaysia.

I take pleasure in announcing the 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting of the College of Radiology which will be held on 8-10 April 2011, with the theme “Radiology: Beyond Image Interpretation”. This 2011 ASM is organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), University Putra Malaysia (UPM), the Malaysian Oncological Society, Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM) and Vision College.

On behalf of the Council members of the CoR and the members of the Organising Committee, I warmly welcome the Faculty. We especially welcome the RSNA International Visiting Professors who have come from afar to impart and share knowledge with us all. They will lecture on a range of different topics in the 10 tracks that cover Paediatric Radiology, Oncology, Interventional Radiology, Medical Physics, CNS and Head & Neck, Abdomen Pelvis, Breast Imaging, Accreditation and Litigation, Excellence in Academia and Personal Motivation. The last special session entitled “Radiology Means Business” will bring the meeting to a close on Sunday afternoon.

There will be two Pre-Congress Workshopsa) Basic PET-CT interpretation is organised in collaboration with the University

Putra Malaysia (UPM), and will be held at the Diagnostic Nuclear Imaging Centre at the university in Serdang.

b) Vascular Ultrasound Workshop is organised in collaboration with Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM) and Vision College, Kelana Jaya which will be held at Hospital Serdang.

I welcome not only members of the Malaysian CoR, but also participants from our counterpart Colleges from Singapore and Hong Kong as a tripartite agreement linking our Academies of Medicine is in effect. It is my hope that all participants will have a pleasurable educational experience and a memorable time at the meeting.
