A Message from the President

Dear SAR members, colleagues and friends,

As I reflect on our inaugural meeting, where attendance actually broke all previous records, where the quality of the program set a new high bar for both excellence and breadth of educational offerings, and the vibrancy and excitement surrounding the new society, I am humbled to be your President for the coming year.

I will be composing my formal message in which I will review the successes of the past year and, following our strategic planning initiative in the beginning of April, share with you the initiatives that the Society will be taking in both the near and long term.

The excitement was clearly palpable at the meeting; and I will do my best to continue to make the SAR the place for all of your needs in education, practice management, certification, and sharing ideas about how to bring unquestionable value to our patients, our peers and our trainees.

Sincerely,

Alec

Alec J. Megibow, MD, MPH, FACR
President, Society of Abdominal Radiology, 2013-2014

Quantitative imaging is well poised to play a critical role in evaluating tumor response to therapy says Dr. Laurence Clarke Ph.D., branch chief of imaging technology development for the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Imaging Program .

The short-term risk of death from underlying morbidity is much greater than the long-term risk from CT-induced cancer and hence radiation risk models for young adults should consider underlying morbidities, reports a study published in May issue of Radiology.

The SAR welcomes Dr. James Thrall from the Harvard School of Medicine as the Cannon Lecturer, and Dr. Paul Chang from the University of Chicago School of Medicine as the New Horizons Lecturer for the SAR 2014 Annual Scientific Meeting and Educational Course.
