President's Message
It is both an honour and a privilege to serve as the new President of the Canadian Emergency, Trauma, and Acute Care Radiology Society (CETARS). I am deeply grateful to Past-Presidents Drs. Savvas Nicolaou and Michael Patlas for their visionary leadership, which has helped the CETARS grow into a leading force in emergency and trauma imaging.
As a radiologist specializing in trauma imaging, I am passionate about advancing cutting-edge imaging techniques to improve the care of critically ill and injured patients. The CETARS has already achieved remarkable progress, and I am excited to continue this momentum by fostering innovation, research, and education within our community.
The field of imaging is rapidly evolving, and its impact on improving patient outcomes cannot be overstated. I am committed to ensuring that the CETARS remains a leader in the field, promoting collaboration and inclusivity across Canada and beyond.
I am fortunate to work alongside our talented and dedicated executive committee. Together, we will continue to build a strong network, share knowledge, and shape the future of emergency and trauma imaging, ultimately making a lasting impact on patient care worldwide.
