DETERMINING THE CLINICAL IMPACT OF ABDOMINAL IMAGING
The 9th Asian Congress of Abdominal Radiology (ACAR), which will be held in a hybrid event format in Taipei, Taiwan, from 20 to 21 May 2022
Dear colleagues and friends,
It is a great honor and pleasure for me to invite you to the
9th Asian Congress of Abdominal Radiology (ACAR), which will
be held in a hybrid event format in Taipei, Taiwan, from 20 to
21 May 2022. During this congress, interdisciplinary
outstanding invited speakers from around the globe will share
their expertise on recent advancements in the subspecialty
field of abdominal radiology. Our intention, as a ‘rotating’
organizer of a series of nine ACAR meetings, is to focus on
the clinical impact of abdominal imaging on treatment planning
and patient prognosis. We must ask ourselves from time to time
–“Is this examination beneficial to the patient? Is this
imaging report beneficial to the patient’s care? Does this
imaging improve the patient’s treatment plan?” Therefore, the
theme of the 2022 ACAR will be – Determining the Clinical
Impact of Abdominal Imaging.
This will be a unique opportunity to meet colleagues and
friends from different parts of the Asian region and to make
new friends too. We look forward to hearty collaboration and
discussion of various hot topics in this interdisciplinary
abdominal imaging conference. Please join us for this event,
and submit your research to the scientific session or the
poster exhibition. We also welcome case series/reports.
I also hope you will have the chance to enjoy the beauty of
Taipei, as well as its culture, cuisine, and hospitality. I am
looking forward to welcoming all of you to Taipei in May
2022.
Be well and stay safe!
Best regards,
