Inspired by the SIG-Abdome teleconference meeting, which has existed for several years and coordinated by doctors Giuseppe D'Ippolito and Carlos Matsumoto, from the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp), Dr. Rogério Augusto Pinto da Silva, current scientific director of the Society of Radiology and Image Diagnosis of Minas Gerais (SRMG), and the coordinators of Radiology Medical Residencies in Belo Horizonte (MG) Dr. Claudia Juliana de Rezende, from the CDI at Hospital Madre Teresa, Dr. André Morgante, from Hospital Felício Rocho, Dr. Fabiana Paiva Martins, from Mater Dei Hospital, and Dr. Henri Amedée Peret, from Santa Casa, launched SIGradioMG.
Sixty resident physicians attended the first meeting held in the auditorium of the Regional Council of Medicine of Minas Gerais (CRM-MG), in the capital of Minas Gerais, where two radiological cases were presented: one of the abdomen (Petersen's hernia) and another of the chest (fibrosis idiopathic lung).
The next meetings are already scheduled, each under the responsibility of a service. The meeting is transmitted through a specialized application, which allows the participation of services from other cities in Minas Gerais.
