Overview:
We hope you will join us for the SPR’s 70th Anniversary Annual Meeting & Postgraduate Course, “Signal over Noise: Shaping the Future of Pediatric Radiology,” as we come together to strengthen our community and workforce, advance education, embrace responsible innovation, and shape the future of our specialty. Spanning the first day and a half, the Postgraduate Course will offer two concurrent tracks: “Imaging of Teens and Tots” and a comprehensive “Refresher” covering the full breadth of pediatric radiology.

We will also offer a special Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s) Hands-on Workshop which will run concurrently to the Postgraduate Course. This 3-hour interactive, hands-on workshop led by experts in the field will provide pediatric radiologists with a practical, evidence-based approach to characterizing Crohn’s disease activity and phenotypes, optimizing and integrating ultrasound, CT, and MRI, assessing treatment response, and communicating clinically meaningful imaging findings to the multidisciplinary care team.

The Postgraduate Course will be followed by the 3-day Annual Meeting, which will include numerous concurrent scientific and topic-focused sessions in addition to special featured lectures and the ever-popular SPR Jeopardy and Shark Tank sessions. Throughout the meeting, provocative keynotes and interactive panels will confront the challenges, stresses, and unknowns surrounding AI, workforce, community, education, and well-being—with the audience at the center of the conversation. We look forward to connecting with you as we shape the future of pediatric radiology together!

Additional details will be posted as they are available.

The educational content is designed for all pediatric radiologists, general radiologists, residents, fellows, technologists and other allied health professionals that care for the pediatric patient.
