CT Fest 2012: An event to look forward to

0 56

Organised by MSBIRIA, CT Fest is an exclusive quality educational event focussed on CT Imaging. This year, CT Fest 2012 is being held at The Grand Hyatt in Mumbai from October 26-28, 2012.

After focussing on chest and abdominal imaging in its last edition, this year’s theme at CT Fest 2012 is neck, chest (interstitium), and cardiac CT. Individual sessions have been dedicated to sections on neck, cardiac, interstitium and paediatric chest, with short ‘Anatomy Flashback’ sessions to tune the delegates about the practical aspects of CT anatomy of these sections, as well as the orbit, PNS and the temporal bone.

Coupled with this, poster presentations and ‘Spotlight Section’ (a popular segment at Ultrafest 2012), where five top abstracts sent by delegates will be presented by the delegates themselves in the main hall. They would be judged by the international speakers and given prizes.

Heading the list of international speakers is Dr Lawrence Boxt, a virtual treasure house of information on cardiac CT and Dr Sujal Desai who has done a lot of research in lung abnormalities especially interstitial lung disease (ILD). Alongside a star list of other international speakers, the scientific programme is chock-a-block with a wonderful array of lectures to cover almost all aspects of neck, chest and cardiac imaging.

T20-Top 20 cases conducted by two speakers everyday at the end of the day, and a cardiac workshop by Dr Boxt will complete the proceedings on Day 3, that culminates at lunchtime on Sunday.

Thus with a whole range of interactive activities and sessions awaiting the delegates at the event, it is likely to be bigger and better this time.
