Presentations, Conferences and Review Sessions
The VCU Department of Radiology sponsors visiting professorships at least three times throughout the year. Renowned academic radiologists visit the department, present afternoon conferences and conduct board-style film review sessions. Residents and practicing radiologists in Central Virginia are also invited to hear presentations by visiting professors at the Richmond Radiological Society dinner meetings.
Topics presented by the speakers vary and typically represent the speaker’s particular subspecialty area within the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology or nuclear medicine.
