Letter From the SRU President and Program Chair

As President and Program Committee Chair of the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound, we would like to invite you to join us at the 33rd Annual Meeting and Postgraduate Course of the SRU, to be held October 20 – 22, 2023 at the Grand Hyatt Washington, Washington, DC. Our Program Committee has created an outstanding roster of world-renowned speakers with a wide variety of Ultrasound topics ranging from abdominal to neck to vascular to obstetrics to pediatrics to practice management. Listen to the experts teach about technologies that belong in your daily practice including elastography, new US flow applications, and quantitative liver ultrasound. Our two-and-a-half-day program is jam-packed with opportunities for learning, the always entertaining ‘Sonopardy’ where the experts are put to the test, and the opening reception where attendees can form connections and grow friendships. The SRU is once again collaborating with the International Contrast Ultrasound Society for a half-day course on Ultrasound contrast. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn how to get your US contrast program started or to expand the use of contrast at your site.

The Grand Hyatt Washington is the perfect location to explore the museums, restaurants, history, and sites of Washington, DC, and the fall is the perfect time to visit.

Please join us!
