2010 ARRS Annual Meeting - American Roentgen Ray Society

The American Roentgen Ray Society, founded in 1900, is the first and oldest radiology society in the United States. The society has been a forum for progress in radiology since shortly after the discovery of the X-ray and is dedicated to the goal of the advancement of medicine through the science of radiology and its allied sciences. The goal of the ARRS is maintained through an annual scientific and educational meeting and through publication of the American Journal of Roentgenology. The annual meeting consists of instructional courses, scientific paper presentations, forum, scientific exhibits, and commercial exhibits. The 2010 annual meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society has three goals - to offer an educational forum in the practice and science of radiology based on recognized needs, - to provide a forum to report on, exchange information on and disseminate new developments and expert knowledge in radiology, and - to ensure that the educational activities have influenced participants knowledge, skills, behavior and practice performance. The majority of the nearly 2,300 physicians who attend ARRS annual meetings are hospital-based/hospital-based private practice physicians or in an academic or research setting. They are interested in the latest products and services to deliver the highest quality patient care.
