RANZCR Virtual Roadshows - recordings available

RANZCR’s pursuit of specialist recognition for Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology.

Specialty recognition for Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology is a key priority of the College and the recent announcement by RANZCR President, Dr Lance Lawler, confirms that the College will be pursuing the submission of an initial application in Australia in 2022. As part of this application process, it is critically important that the College seek feedback from our members about the College’s plan.

 The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) held two virtual roadshows during November. The roadshows were being offered to provide information on the process that the College will undertake to attain protected specialist titles for Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neuroradiology.

Survey - Management of covert brain infarction

The Stroke Research Center Bern, Switzerland is conducting a survey on covert brain infarction, to gather information on current practice and attitudes towards covert brain infarctions from medical practitioners who encounter them in their daily work.

Although covert brain infarction (previously known as a silent stroke) is the most frequent incidental finding in cerebral imaging, there is little information to guide management and therefore expert opinions differ on diagnostic work-up and preventive management.

 This survey aims to collect data that may contribute to addressing that problem and identify priorities for research.

 The survey, which takes about 10 minutes to complete, can be found here.
