It’s Time to Reconnect! Join Us in Melbourne for the RANZCR2021 ASM In just over three months the College’s flagship event—the Annual Scientific Meeting—will be held in Melbourne from 16–19 September 2021. The program promises to be the largest to date with more than 200 presenters across clinical radiology and radiation oncology presenting over the three days of the main meeting. The fourth day will see the opportunity for delegates to participate in a number of hands-on workshops across both disciplines. With last year’s restrictions and the rescheduling of our 2020 ASM, a record number of new Fellows will be celebrated and acknowledged in the traditional Annual Ceremony held on Friday 17 September at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The celebrations will continue with the Dean’s Reception to be held on the banks of South Wharf. The College is excited to announce the introduction of new initiatives at this year’s ASM including the Everlight

Radiology Little Rascals Creche, breakfast sessions presented by major partners, workshops and an industry exhibition that will engage, inform and nourish delegates’ appetite to reconnect. RANZCR2021 will showcase emerging trends in radiology and radiation oncology AI software, hardware, regulatory, industry perspectives, impact on health care, expenditure, revenue and patient outcomes with AI. A varied and engaging program of international and national speakers and an interactive program will highlight the opportunities in radiology and radiation oncology in the future. There will be a series of multidisciplinary sessions to discuss current clinical topics, an increased number of international experts and collaboration with affiliated organisations to deliver captivating sessions. We are fortunate to have support from our global radiology partners to include world renowned speakers at RANZCR2021. The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) are supporting a Thoracic-AI speaker (TBD). The American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) are supporting the legendary Anne Osborn and Ramon Gil Gonzalez. The European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) are supporting
renowned experts Majda Thurnher, Johan Van Goethem and Turgut Tali to speak at our meeting. There will also be speakers in other specialist areas including the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) and expert AI speakers. An innovative radiation oncology program with a range of national and international speakers is planned. International speakers will cover a range of sites including: Fiona McDonald (Royal Marsden, lung and stereotactic radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy); Desiree van den Bongard (Amsterdam UMC, breast and oligometastic disease); Andrew Loblaw (University of Toronto, prostate and GU cancers); and Clifton David Fuller (MD Anderson, head-and-neck and functional imaging). RANZCR2021 will be delivered as a hybrid event—in person, virtual and on demand—and affords us the opportunity to pivot the ASM to a virtual conference if we are required to. Our ultimate goal is to engage with as many delegates in person to meet together in Melbourne and reconnect with a quality program and social activities you can’t afford to miss.
