2nd African Imaging and Radiology Conference 2012, 9-10 May 2012

Imaging and Radiology department functions as the backbone and most cost-centred department in any hospital/clinical setting. With constant development in imaging technology and evolving clinical use of available modalities, it is important to provide radiologists, radiographers and radiology technicians with educational events to review the latest trends in the radiology field.

The African Imaging and Radiology Conference is an annual event that consists of a three-day multidisciplinary scientific meeting aimed at all those involved in the field of radiological science.

The goal of this conference is to present the latest advances in medical imaging which will result in providing useful and accurate imaging diagnosis and improving care quality for radiology patients.

Sessions on key and diverse aspects of radiology and special sessions for radiographers have been arranged throughout the event.
