The 50th Congress of the Italian Society of Interventional Medical Radiology kicks off today in Rome (Sirm), a medical-scientific reality that represents 12,000 medical specialists in diagnostic imaging, operating throughout the national territory. “With this congress – he says Vittorio Miele, president of Sirm – we want to highlight the moment of the post-pandemic recovery; but it will also be a big party for radiology, not only for radiologists, but for the whole world that revolves around our discipline. In fact, professionals from other medical and health disciplines, politicians, public and private managers, journalists, representatives of the world of pharmaceuticals and industry will also participate in the work “.
The opening ceremony, tonight at 6pm, will see the greeting of the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri and the lectio magistralis by the director Corrado Augias, entitled ‘Artificial intelligence and ethics‘. Also in the field the marching band of the Navy. “The slogan ‘In the present the future’ – explains the president of the Sirm Congress, Antonio Orlacchio – summarizes the evolution of our discipline and wants to be a stimulus to strive for a certain future and an ever greater role, with the awareness that what we achieve in the present will condition the future of the discipline “.
