24th AMSIG ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING
8-9 MAY 2021
On behalf of the Australasian Musculoskeletal Imaging Group (AMSIG) executive, we would like to invite you (again) to join us at the 24th Annual Scientific Meeting to be held at the SMC Conference and Function Centre, in central Sydney, Australia on May 8 & 9 2021.
The events of 2020 have impacted on us all in many ways. Not only in our workplaces and personally with restrictions on our movements but also by cancelling and postponing so many of our regular teaching and networking opportunities. Our thoughts go out to those who have had more significant effects than just inconvenience.
However, having had to postpone the meeting in 2020 we are all raring to go for 2021. Our speakers both international and local have re-confirmed that they are also keen to attend. The programme will be almost unchanged.
Our meeting is the principal event for musculoskeletal radiologists in the Oceania region. The coming year’s presentations will largely be on the topics of rheumatological imaging and tumour imaging. The focus on the meeting will be to try to address some of the problem cases which are experienced even in general radiology reporting on a variety of joint and tumour problems. We have invited experts in imaging, orthopaedic surgery, and rheumatology to encourage collaboration between specialties and ensure relevant contemporary radiology practice.
