The Netherlands, Turkey, Honored at RSNA 2016

Drawing more than 10,000 international professional attendees, the RSNA annual meeting continues to shine the spotlight on top research from across the globe. This year, RSNA honors the Netherlands and Turkey with its Country Presents series, acknowledging the nations that are helping shape the global future of radiology.

Charles Majoie, MD, PhD

Tamer Kaya, PhD

RSNA is partnering with the Radiological Society of the Netherlands and the Turkish Society of Radiology (TSR) for the 90-minute sessions featuring the latest research from top radiologists in each country.

The Netherlands presentation includes the "Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MRCLEAN) and Follow-up Results" presented by Charles Majoie, MD, PhD, interventional neuroradiologist and head of the Department of Neuroradiology at Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and chair of the Dutch Society of Neuroradiology.

Presenting research results on behalf of the Radiological Society of the Netherlands is a great honor, he said. "The Netherlands is a small country with excellent infrastructure to perform high quality research," Dr. Majoie said.

For Turkey Presents, the topic, "The Meaning of Evolution for Radiology and Medicine" was selected to draw attention to the practice of evolution in medicine and its advantages for medical education in an international platform offered by RSNA, said Tamer Kaya, PhD, an interventional radiologist with Acibadem Healthcare Group, Turkey, and president of the TSR.

"Taking this topic into consideration at an international meeting will provide attendees with educational sessions and will make a huge contribution to medical practice," he said.

The neuroradiology session, "Hemodynamic Basics Governing Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms," will focus on underlying hemodynamic factors leading to aneurysm formation and the biochemical definition of endovascular aneurysm treatment.

Attendees from the Netherlands and Turkey will be recognized with badge ribbons during these special presentations. 

Sessions can also be viewed live or on demand through the RSNA 2016 Virtual Meeting.
