Australian and New Zealand
College of Radiologists’
(RANZCR) 67th Annual Scientific

The meeting has received a number of
high-calibre abstracts from our radiology
and radiation oncology colleagues,
we urge you not to miss this great
opportunity to present your research
at the meeting.
Abstract submissions are now
open and can be submitted via

Over the four-day program, we look
forward to strong collaborations with
our clinical colleagues, an integral and
fundamental element to the appropriate
and targeted use of modern imaging
and radiation therapy to produce the
best patient outcomes. The program is
proving to be enticing and stimulating
with numerous inspirational international
speakers presenting, who together with
world-class local presenters, will share
their vision.
We are very excited about the upcoming
program for the 2016 ASM on the Gold
Coast and look forward to providing a
mix of meaningful discussion, exchange
of ideas and learning through plenary
sessions, workshops and symposia.
