Beyond the Image: 35 Years of Advancing CT Perfusion

Downing College, Cambridge

8th September 2026

This academic meeting marks 35 years since a Cambridge team published the world’s first CT perfusion image on a conventional scanner—a major milestone in functional imaging. The event brings together radiologists, medical physicists, and radiographers to trace the development of perfusion CT from pioneering innovation to clinical mainstay and to explore its applications in cerebral, cardiac, and oncologic perfusion imaging, including the growing role of hybrid CT perfusion/PET.

The meeting offers a platform to honour foundational achievements and shape the next generation of perfusion imaging practice, guided by contributions from leading national and international speakers.

IGET

Seoul Dragon City, Korea

14th October 2026 - 16th October 2026

IGET Live Symposium first took place in Gwangju in the southwestern part of South Korea, and was at the time named Gwangju Interventional Radiology Live Symposium.

It was founded by Professor Jae Kyu Kim who sought to educate interventional radiologists on how to perform peripheral vascular procedures through live demonstrations.

The meeting was officially endorsed by the Korean Society of Interventional Radiology (KSIR) in 2013, which hosted the meeting under the current name, Image-Guided Endovascular Treatment (IGET) Live Symposium. Since its endorsement, the scope of the meeting has expanded to a broader field of intervention including venous intervention, embolotherapy, and, most recently, lymphatic intervention.

KSIR is happy to announce that IGET’s annual, live symposium has officially become an international meeting. We believe that this year will be a turning point for IGET Live Symposium as it welcomes a wider audience and participants from the Asia-Pacific region.

The aim of the symposium remains unchanged, however, as once again we seek to promote various minimally-invasive interventional techniques to the medical society.

Building interventional radiology skills for paediatrics

Royal College of Radiologists, London

23rd November 2026

This one‑day course equips adult interventional radiology (IR) consultants and paediatric diagnostic radiologists with the practical skills and clinical knowledge to confidently make decisions on and perform a range of low complexity procedures in children.

By bringing together expert perspectives from both paediatric and adult interventional radiologists, the course addresses the key differences between adult and paediatric IR, narrowing the skill gap so attendees gain greater confidence in delivering simple but key procedures, such as biopsy, drainages and basic angiography for trauma.

This course addresses the unmet need for minimally invasive procedures for children. By building attendees practical capabilities, it aims to expand access and reduce inequalities in the availability of IR for children.
