ESOR AIMS is a success in Belo Horizonte

With big names in European and Brazilian radiology, the ESOR AIMS was held on August 25th and 26th, at the Associação Médica de Minas Gerais, in Belo Horizonte (MG). The theme of this year's edition was, for the first time, Radiological Emergencies. The sponsorship was from the company Bayer. The event is the result of a partnership established years ago between the Brazilian College of Radiology and Image Diagnosis (CBR) and the European School of Radiology (ESOR), an educational institution linked to the European Society of Radiology (ESR). Unlike previous editions, the course took place over two full days, with twelve theoretical classes and twelve workshops, instead of nine, and two classes by each European professor instead of one. Considered the highlight of the event, the workshops took place after the theoretical classes and divided the members into three groups for the discussion of everyday clinical cases related to each theme. ESOR AIMS had the participation of renowned European speakers: Dr. Marc Zins (France), who plays at the Hôpital Paris Saint Joseph and is member-at-large the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (Esgar); Dr. Majda Thurnher (Croatian working in Austria, former President of the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) and Associate Professor of Radiology at the Medical University of Vienna; Dr. Christian Lowe (Austria), Head of the Department of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology at the Medical University from Vienna, and Dr. Maria Raissaki (Greece), a pediatric radiologist who will address trauma and traumatic and non-traumatic abdominal emergencies in children.For Brazil, the event was brightened by doctors Ademar Paes Junior (SC), director of the Brazilian Association of Diagnostic Clinics by Image (ABCDI) and specialist in Head and Neck; Conrado Cavalcanti (SP), coordinator of the Accreditation Program in Diagnosis by Image (PADI) and specialist in Musculoskeletal; Dante Escuissato (PR), scientific director of CBR and specialist in the area of Tórax; and Alice Brandão (RJ), specialist in Internal Medicine.
