Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) International Guidelines SymposiumCAR has been actively implementing and promoting the use of evidence-based guidelines to support appropriate use of imaging services in Canada. Numerous countries are similarly active in guidelines implementation. There is much to be learned from a sharing of international knowledge and experience. This Symposium will facilitate an international dialogue which can improve appropriateness of imaging care, more specifically through the creation and implementation of imaging referral guidelines that are effectively applied to the varying contexts (regional, national and global) in which health care is provided.
Distinguished Speakers Include:
- Dr. Michael Bettmann, Chair of the Appropriateness Criteria Committee, American College of Radiology, US
- Dr. Ramin Khorasani, Center for Evidence-Based Imaging, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, US
- Dr. Richard Mendelson, Editor, Diagnostic Imaging Pathways, Australia
- Dr. Martin Reed, Chair of the CAR Guidelines Working Group, Canada
- Dr. Denis Remedios, Chair of the Guidelines Working Party, Royal College of Radiologists, UK
- Dr. Sara Twaddle, President of the Guidelines International Network
The target audience for the Symposium is Radiologists, Physicians, Technologists and Healthcare Administrators with a responsibility for, or an interest in, health policy, healthcare administration, health services research or clinical leadership. The conference will address how guidelines for appropriate healthcare, particularly diagnostic imaging, can be made to function in the real world of healthcare delivery.

Seventh International Colorectal Cancer CongressThe Seventh International Colorectal Cancer Congress is dedicated to an in-depth discussion of the best care options for the comprehensive management of patients with colorectal cancer. A significant emphasis will be given to case-based clinical scenarios in order to provide a forum for discussion, and expert opinion leaders will debate current controversies on the application of emerging clinical trial findings to daily practice. The optimal integration of biologic agents, such as EGFR inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents, and other novel agents, into current chemotherapy regimens will be addressed. Multidisciplinary approaches to the treatment of rectal cancer will be discussed, including developments in radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy treatments. Participants will also gain insight into the pharmacogenomics of colorectal cancer and how this knowledge will aid in the prediction and prognostication of treatment response. The goal of this congress is for participants to integrate the latest advances in the treatment of colorectal cancer into their daily practice as well as to discuss future directions in research and clinical trials.
