Needs Assessment
CAR 2024 was developed following a review of practice data, programme evaluation and survey data detailing the perceived and unperceived needs of members as well as through consultation with experts in the field. This data and information were also vetted and designed with the experience and expertise of the scientific planning committee. Additionally, a historical review and analysis of educational content covered in the past five ASMs as well as subjective data from the previous year’s evaluations were reviewed in detail to create a focus for this year’s programme.
Target Audience
This meeting is designed for all general and subspecialty radiologists as well as radiology residents and fellows whose work involves performing or interpreting images, determining appropriateness, and using advanced equipment and tools to help guide therapeutic decision-making and help improve clinical outcomes.
