Don't miss this great learning opportunity!

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of Hong Kong College of Radiologists, may I welcome you all to our 2-day Annual Scientific Meeting.

We are very honoured to have eminent speakers to join our Annual Scientific Meeting this time in Hong Kong. The overseas and local faculties are experts in the disciplines of radiology, clinical oncology and nuclear medicine. The scientific programme covers special focus sessions including Paediatric Radiology, Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Radiology and Palliative Medicine. The topics are well-selected, aiming to be practical as well as being comprehensive, with deliberation of the state-of-the-art technology and approach. As technology and information are moving forward at a very fast pace, it is important for healthcare workers to constantly update ourselves on the information and to arm ourselves with the most appropriate techniques in our delivery of service.

We are confident that all participants will benefit from this opportunity to update their knowledge and in keeping up with recent advancement in the various subspecialties of Radiology, Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.
