| Dr Alison Smith, one of the speakers at CT Fest | Delegates attending the conference |
The CT fest was held from October 25-27 at The Westin, Mumbai. It was a well attended affair with more than 350 delegates from across the country, and predominantly from Maharashtra, Gujarat and the southern states. Dr Parvez Masood, Dr Alison Smith and Dr Jonas Rydberg were the international faculty along with Dr Deepak Patkar, Dr A Anbarasu and Dr Karthik Ganesan from India, amongst others who delivered lectures on various topics in neuroradiogy and abdomen.
It was the first time probably that an event was held across three days on systems rather than modalities. Lectures on stroke, tumours, spine were delivered by the faculty describing both CT and MR protocols and advantages of each modality for each disease.
An interesting panel discussion was held with international faculty, Dr Sunanda Anand (neurologist at Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai) and Dr Rajeev Mehta with discussions on stroke evaluation and management decisions based on imaging findings.
The residents and consultants gave a very positive feedback from residents and consultants. They described the programme as a wonderful teaching experience that will help them enhance their skills. Good material was presented by resident doctors, especially those from MP Shah Hospital, Jamnagar under Dr Nandini. The help of their professors in planning the slides and abstract presentation helped them win most of the prizes at stake in the abstract and poster competition. The theme next year is ‘neck-chest- abdomen’ and the venue is the Marriott, Pune. It will be held during November 7-9, 2014.
Since Pune is well connected, the organisers expect a good response from their MSBIRIA members. Dr Amit Kharat, Dr Vijay Kadam and Dr Ritu Lokhande form the local team managing this event. Dr Sanjay Vaid and Dr Anbarasu are part of the national faculty on board for this event.
