The third edition of the World Trends Forum (World Forum Trends) will be held virtually on November 8th, starting at 8:30 a.m. (Brasília-DF time). This year, the WFT's theme will be "Prostate Imaging." The forum will feature leading authorities in the field and the support of several international radiology societies.
The event also boasts an excellent organizing committee. The coordinator is Dr. Ronaldo Baroni – Director of International Relations at CBR; the moderators are Dr. Alice Schuch – 1st Treasurer; Dr. Fernando Morbeck – 2nd Secretary; and Dr. Maurício Zapparoli – Scientific Director.
The WFT program includes a day packed with excellent content, featuring leading national and international experts on the subject. The activities will be opened by Dr. Ronaldo Baroni. After the welcome, classes will begin. They have been divided into four key topics: prostate cancer screening and detection, active surveillance, staging and post-treatment imaging, and current and future trends in prostate imaging.

This is the third time the Global Trends Forum has been held by the Brazilian College of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging (CBR). The event takes place every two years. In 2021, the first edition was a great success, with the theme "21'31: Radiology Trends for the Next 10 Years." The second edition featured the theme "ultrasound." Like the first, it was a success. Now we invite everyone to participate in this third edition, which is very special.
