Welcome

Welcome to the webpage of the International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology. Our Society assembles leaders, thinkers and visionaries in a non-political, not-for-profit organization to raise and address issues of global importance to the field of radiology.

Medical imaging is a rapidly developing field, in which new research findings that impact medical practice appear on a daily basis. With the expansion of medical imaging into the molecular dimension and increasing collaboration between scientists from related fields, the pace of discovery and innovation is further accelerating. It is our intention to bring together those who advance medical imaging in academia and industry and to provide them with a forum to communicate, plan strategically and influence future developments in the field.

We invite you to explore our webpage to learn more about our activities and publications.

The IS3R is sad to report the passing of Gary Glazer, MD, former chair of the Stanford University School of Medicine Department of Radiology. Dr Glazer passed away on October 16, 2011 after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was a widely admired colleague and a true visionary, who cared deeply about people. His efforts to promote basic science and clinical research will have a lasting impact on radiology and medical practice.

Dr Glazer was one of the founding members and past presidents of IS3R and, in spite of his most serious illness, to the very end he continued to play an important role in making the IS3R and its meetings successful, memorable and relevant.
