The Atualiza25 Radiological Cases Marathon was full of excitement, interaction and high-level cases

The Radiological Cases Marathon took place on the evening of the first day of Atualiza25 (March 21). Dr. Maurício Zapparoli – Scientific Director of CBR, Dr. Fernando Morbeck, Dr. Marcos Birelli, Dr. Kamila Seidel and Dr. Ronaldo Baroni, both members of the Organizing Committee of the Atualiza25 Marathon, presented and mediated the activity.

The Marathon podium looked like this: 

Ten state societies participated in the activity. Each society had five minutes to discuss and diagnose the previously drawn case.

Each presentation was evaluated by two criteria:

• Quality of the case presented;

• Presentation of the Case by the debater representing the Society

The evaluations were carried out by the viewing public in real time and by an invited International Evaluation Committee.
