ECR 2007 Austria Vienna

As the chairwoman of the Genito-Urinary program of the European Congress of Radiology that took place in Viena, March 9th to 13th 2007, I would like to thank you for supporting one of your female doctors in radiology, Dr. Rania Farouk El Sayed. She was one the 15 teachers involved in the five GU refresher courses and shared with two other speakers a 90 min session dedicated to imaging of the pelvic floor. Her 30 min talk was of outstanding quality, not only in the scientific content but also in the didactic value of her presentation. I was very proud about her stunning performance as a teacher and I am sure that she will become an excellent University teacher. She got a long lasting applause and answered numerous detailed questions from the audience. The great success of the session was mainly due to the originality of her imaging approach and her very convincing talk. Indeed the consequences of her work will strongly influence patient management in the future as well as how radiologist will acquire, read and report pelvic floor abnormalities. I hope that her really original and useful findings will get published soon..
