SUMMARY:Western Neuroradiological Society 2019
DESCRIPTION:Educational Description\nThe WNRS Annual Meeting is designed to introduce clinically relevant advances in Neuroradiology and provide in-depth review of topics within Neuroradiology.  The meeting will feature Focus Sessions in Spinal Oncology and Neuroradiological Interventions\, Epilepsy\, Spine\, Enhancing Your Practice\, Head and Neck Imaging\, and Brain Imaging\, as well as more General Medical Knowledge as it relates to Neuroimaging. \nLetter From the President\nDear Friends\, Colleagues\, and WNRS Society Supporters:  \nI am pleased to invite you to attend the WNRS 51st Annual meeting\, September 26-29\, 2019 at the beautiful and newly renovated Coeur d’Alene Resort in Coeur d’Alene\, Idaho. The resort overlooks a stunning alpine lake and has many upscale amenities while maintaining a quaint\, friendly downtown lakeside atmosphere. \nPresident-elect Roland Lee\, MD\, FACR has put together a fantastic program with Focus Sessions in Spinal Oncology and Neuroradiological Interventions\, Epilepsy\, Spine\, Enhancing Your Practice\, Head and Neck Imaging\, and Brain Imaging. I am deeply grateful to the outstanding and internationally renowned faculty who will be coming from both academic and private practice institutions\, making the meeting a useful resource for both academicians and clinical practitioners.  In addition to CME- and SAM-accredited content\, there will be superb research presentations in the Scientific Oral Presentations sessions. \nPlease use the following link to submit abstracts:\nhttps://www.abstractscorecard.com/cfp/submit/login.asp?EventKey=MWRSSLKR \nFor our newer members and trainees\, we will\, once again\, offer a Fellow/Attending Job Fair Social to introduce them to the superb WNRS members and mentors.  This will be a great opportunity to network and to explore possible employment and collaborative opportunities. \nAdditional social/networking activities include the Opening Reception on Thursday\, September 26 and the WNRS Grand Gala on Saturday\, September 28.  On Friday\, September 27\, we have scheduled our annual WNRS Golf Tournament at the Coeur d’Alene Golf course with the world’s only floating green.  These are excellent ways to catch up with old and new friends. \nThis is by far my favorite meeting of the year.  I very much look forward to seeing my neuroradiology friends and welcoming many new members to our cherished society. \nRespectfully\, \nHollie A. Lai\, MD \nWNRS President \nEducational Objectives\nUpon completion of this course the following goals and objectives will have been met: \n\nEnhance your practice by learning how to implement functional MRI\, state-of-the-art stroke imaging\, arterial spin-labelling\, and new clinically-available MRI sequences.\nBecome familiar with advanced brain imaging techniques such as advanced tumor and stroke imaging\, functional MRI\, and magnetoencephalography.\nReview head and neck pathology\, and spinal pathology.\nLearn imaging strategies to help guide neurosurgeons in the treatment of epilepsy\, and learn about the new tools those surgeons now routinely use.\nGain an understanding of current stroke imaging\, mimics\, and treatment updates.\nObtain In-depth understanding of artificial intelligence and compressed sensing and their daily implementation in your practice.\nLearn about the updated radiologist’s role in spinal oncology\, and neuroradiological  interventions for treatment and pain relief.\nLearn about the essential role of molecular genetics in brain tumor diagnosis and treatment\, and relevant neuroimaging techniques.\n\nTarget Audience\nThe 51st Annual Meeting of the Western Neuroradiological Society is targeted to the neuroradiologist and radiologist in academic or private practice\, physicians in a neurologically-related specialty\, physicians in training or post-graduate training in a radiology-related specialty\, as well as physicians interested in brain\, head and neck\, and spine-related imaging and interventional techniques. \nAccreditation\nThe International Institute for Continuing Medical Education\, Inc. is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. \nDesignation\nThe International Institute for Continuing Medical Education\, Inc.\, designates this live activity for a maximum of [acf field=”iicme_course_credits”] AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
