Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound
October 30-November 1, 2009
The Fairmont Chicago, Chicago, IL
The SRU 2009 annual meeting will be held Friday through Sunday, October 30 – November 1, at The Fairmont Chicago, Chicago, IL. The program will open on Friday with an all-day plenary session focusing on imaging pitfalls and practice management issues in the morning and featuring Town Hall-style debates on imaging of thyroid nodules and calf veins as well as the diagnosis of early intrauterine pregnancy. A Jeopardy-style competition on current controversial topics will be held in the afternoon.
The Saturday program will feature three concurrent sessions in the morning and two in the afternoon. In addition to the popular Head-to-Toe Ultrasound program, other sessions will focus on women’s imaging, pediatric sonography, and musculoskeletal and superficial sonography. Head-to-Toe Ultrasound, a comprehensive review of medical imaging using ultrasound, will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The afternoon session will feature a quiz using an audience response system.
The meeting will conclude on Sunday with morning sessions on vascular sonography and case-based lesions in emergency sonography.
Book vendor exhibits will be available throughout the meeting, and equipment manufacturers will sponsor an opening reception on Friday evening, during which they will provide informal demonstrations of their latest imaging equipment.
