III International Conference on Diagnostic Imaging Update. "The Revolution of Magnetic Resonance Imaging".
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a crucial diagnostic technique used worldwide, standards and practices may vary between different countries and regions, but it also allows healthcare professionals to share knowledge and experience, which encourages standardization and continuous improvement of the quality of MRI care worldwide.
International collaboration in MRI training and refresher training can help address common challenges and problems faced by professionals in different parts of the world. This includes issues related to patient safety, image interpretation, and implementation of new technologies and techniques.
This Update Day also offers the opportunity to learn from world-renowned experts and to access resources and advances that may not be readily available in a single country, which enriches the education and professional development of participants, ultimately resulting in improved quality of care provided to patients, regardless of their geographic location.
II International Conference on Diagnostic Imaging Update - Computed Tomography. "Evolution in diagnosis".
Computed tomography (CT) was, at the time of its clinical introduction in 1971, an X-ray modality that allowed only axial images of the brain of interest in neuroradiology to be obtained. With the passage of time it has become a versatile imaging technique, with which three-dimensional images of any anatomical area can be obtained, and which has a wide range of applications in oncology, vascular radiology, cardiology, traumatology, or interventional radiology, among others.
On the other hand, existing technologies evolve in such a way that nothing will ever be the same again. Innovation drives a technology forward and forces us to rethink what we saw as established; that is why the Navarra-UNINAVARRA University Foundation, in its commitment to high quality education, considered it pertinent to carry out the second Update Day; this time focused on Computed Tomography (CT), addressing issues of acquisition, processing, post processing and artificial intelligence in the service of medical diagnosis.
We are confident that the health systems are called upon to advance the implementation of new and better medical management tools that generate value and social impact. In this path, cutting-edge technology plays an increasingly important role when it comes to taking processes that include thorough analysis and image-guided therapies to another level, taking a big step toward improving patient care in various clinical areas by effectively showing things that are impossible to see with conventional CT scans.
2nd National and International Congress on Innovation and Research in Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
The II International Congress on Research and Innovation for Sustainable Development was carried out in the form of on-site from the city of Neiva (Huila) on August 25, 2022, within the framework of "Week I" (Research & Innovation).
This academic and scientific event is a space for the social appropriation of knowledge and the public dissemination of science, which will include the participation of national and international speakers and lecturers, as well as the presentation of free papers that will allow the socialization of results and advances in research on topics such as radiological innovation, radiobiology, sustainable radiology.
I International Conference on Breast Imaging Update New realities in Early Diagnosis "Prevention is detection and detection is cure".
Breast imaging has become in recent years the most important method for early diagnosis of breast cancer, taking into account that this pathology is the second leading cause of death in women, it is essential that radiology technologists can have a constant training in this area of imaging that has a special upturn in recent decades and due to advances in technology, being able to impact positively on the quality of life of women.
Taking into account that the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared October as the month for breast cancer awareness worldwide, it was decided from the direction of the Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging Technology program of the University Foundation Navarra-UNINAVARRA, to have an academic space that allows the participation of students and technologists in radiology and diagnostic imaging of national and international stature, to update concepts, acquisition techniques and detection of breast lesions.
In this way the Fundación Universitaria Navarra-UNINAVARRA, demonstrates its commitment to the community, contributing to the continuing education of technologists in radiology and diagnostic imaging, not only in the region but also in other parts of the world.
