Emergency
Radiology is a growing subspecialty and has become a popular
topic for continuing medical education courses over the
last several years. The Society’s
goal is to maintain the annual ASER meeting as the premier
CME course in Emergency Radiology. Attendee feedback from
the ASER 2011 meeting in Key Biscayne, Miami, Florida was
extremely positive. Next year’s meeting in New Orleans,
Louisiana will build on the successes of this year, and further
expand the program’s offerings.
Where do you go when it is time to get away? What if you knew
of a place where the scenery isn't all that changes? A place
where centuries old architecture is the backdrop for a culture
so invigorating, it'll rouse your spirit. Visit the most fun
and authentic city in America, New Orleans.

OVERVIEW AND INTENDED AUDIENCE
The 2012 ASER Annual Meeting will provide a broad overview
of current state-of-the-art imaging techniques to evaluate
the acutely ill and injured patient. Educational sessions
