Radiopaedia hits the ABC News
The ABC has published an article on the popular radiology education site Radiopaedia, and its founder, Royal Melbourne Hospital radiologist Dr Frank Gaillard.
The ABC has published an article on the popular radiology education site Radiopaedia, and its founder, Royal Melbourne Hospital radiologist Dr Frank Gaillard. The article contains a number of interesting radiological images, submitted by Radiopaedia contributors from around the world. Entitled "Amazing radiology images: How sharing them is changing medicine", the thrust of the article is how the 'open source' paradigm of freely shared material is leading to increasing benefits compared to the old order of expensive medical textbooks. The benefit to the developing world is highlighted.
According to Managing Editor Dr Andrew Dixon, Radiopaedia currently has over 2 million users and almost 18,000 cases available online.
Dr Gaillard will be bringing the Radiopaedia experience to the ANZSNR Diagnostic Neuroadiology refresher course in March 2015.
Late Change to Conference Programme
Professor Jim Smirniotopoulos has regretfully had to withdraw from our meeting in March, for family reasons. We will now be joined by neuroradiologist Dr Vinil Shah from the University of California in San Francisco. Our already strong ANZ Faculty has been further strengthened with the addition of Dr Mike Byneveldt from Perth and Dr Mark Agzarian from Adelaide, both great lecturers well known to ANZ neuroradiologists.
We have just confirmed in the last few days that Professor Jim Smirniotopoulos has regretfully had to withdraw from our meeting in March, for family reasons. As convenors we understand his situation and convey to you that he is profoundly sorry that he can no longer join us at such late notice. We hope we can invite him again in the future when circumstances are more favourable.
We have reorganised the programme taking this into consideration. We are very happy to announce that we will now be joined by neuroradiologist Dr Vinil Shah from the University of California in San Francisco. Our already strong ANZ Faculty has been further strengthened with the addition of Dr Mike Byneveldt from Perth and Dr Mark Agzarian from Adelaide, both great lecturers well known to ANZ neuroradiologists. The meeting will remain a balanced mix of didactic ‘refresher’ teaching, with take home messages and tips, and interactive case based learning courtesy of the world famous Radiopaedia team.
For those who have already registered, we hope that you understand that this late change was beyond our control, and hope that you are reassured that we still have a great educational programme. For those yet to register, please do so in the next few days to take advantage of the Early Bird discount.
