The CAR Affiliate Societies are thrilled to share the tremendous engagement and growth at this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) and beyond. The level of participation exceeded expectations, reflecting dynamic communities eager to connect and contribute within their radiology subspecialties.
At the ASM, Affiliate Society members and enthusiastic newcomers had the opportunity to participate in lively Business and Networking Meetings, engaging in discussions around key topics shaping their subspecialties in radiology. There were plenty of highlights, updates, and discussions on new topics that are scheduled for development in 2024 and beyond.
