The
2009 CoR Annual Scientific Meeting: Imaging in Emergencies
and Trauma, Kuala Lumpur –
30-31 May 2009 Pre-Congress Workshop: QAP in Mammography -28-29 May 2009
Yang Berbahagia, Dato' Dr Zaki Morad bin Mohd Zaher, the
Deputy Master of our umbrella body, the Academy of Medicine
graced the Opening of the 2009 College of Radiology’s Annual
Scientific and Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2009. He
magnanimously consented to a dialogue session after the
delivery of his keynote address on the “National Specialist
Register”. This topic was felt to be timely as it was best
that delegates and members of the College of Radiology (CoR)
understood this exercise of registration better and provide
a direct avenue for queries, clarifications or comments.
Dato’ Dr Zaki was not “disappointed” as a lively dialogue
session ensued and had to be curtailed so that the schedule
would not be upset.
The
Asian-Oceanian Society of Radiology Executive Council
Meeting –
17 April 2009
The Japanese Radiological Society was host for the Asian-Oceanian
Society of Radiology Executive Council meeting on 17 April
2009. The council members were also invited to the 68th
Annual Meeting of the Japan Radiological Society, held from
16-19 April 2009 at the Pacifico Yokohama Convention Centre.
Matters
relating to the development and promotion of radiology and
allied disciplines in the Asian-Oceania region were
discussed. The next
Asian-Oceanian Congress of Radiology would be held in
Taipei on 20-23 Mar 2010.
The College of Radiology – Alliance for Radiation Safety in
Paediatric Imaging Offer Free Parent Education Materials –
3 Feb 2009 In
2008, the CoR-Academy of Medicine of Malaysia, joined the
Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging, a
coalition of 34 healthcare organisations serving over
400,000 healthcare providers worldwide. The Alliance goal is
simple: to raise awareness of opportunities to lower
radiation dose used in pediatric imaging examinations
through its informational “Image Gently” campaign.
We are now happy to announce
that the Alliance has developed new materials to educate
parents about medical imaging and to help them track their
child’s past imaging exams: “MY Child’s Medical Imaging
Record” and “What Parents Should Know About CT Scans for
Children”. Resources for Paediatricians
have also been made available. These materials are downloadable atwww.imagegently.org
The
Ethical and Professional Doctor: The Role of Medical
Education, Kuala Lumpur – 6 Dec 2008 The
Academy of Medicine and Ministry of Health organised an
afternoon series of lectures with a panel discussion on the
important issue of the role of medical education in
inculcating and grooming a doctor who is ethical and
professional. At a time where commercialisation of medicine
was inevitable, it was even more important to ensure doctors
maintain their professionalism and were able to practice
ethically and self regulate. The best place to start would
then be in the medical school where foundations for a
medical career are built.
Seung-Koo
Lee Shares his experience using high concentration contrast
media for Neuroradiology, Kuala Lumpur – 11 Nov 2008
In an evening lecture at the Kuala
Lumpur Hilton, Assoc Prof Dr Seung-Koo Lee shared his

central nervous system imaging. He gave numerous examples on
how a more concentrated agent was useful in differentiating
tumour from radiation necrosis, and also enhancing detection
of certain pathologies in the brain.
