Invitation

We would like to invite you to attend the SMRT Northeast Regional Educational Seminar. Join us on Saturday, 20 March 2004, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Bethlehem, PA.  The seminar will take place in the Laros Auditorium, located in Physician’s Building.

This seminar represents an excellent educational opportunity for MR technologists to increase their knowledge and to advance their skills.  We are fortunate to have an outstanding faculty willing to donate their time and share their knowledge with SMRT members and other attendees. The topics to be presented include Cardiac MRI, Spectroscopy, Contrast Use at Low Field, Stroke Imaging, MRI Safety and Patient Management, Emergency Spinal MRI, Pituitary Imaging, and MR Planning for Gamma Knife Radiosurgery.

This seminar is not only an excellent educational opportunity and a convenient way to earn ECE credits (7.5 hours of Category A CE credits are pending approval by the ASRT), it is also an opportunity to network with technologists from other MR sites in the area. Continental breakfast and lunch will be served as well as morning and afternoon coffee breaks.

The SMRT provides a forum for education, information, and research and strives to establish and maintain a high level of professionalism in the field of MR. We encourage those who are new to the SMRT and its educational mission to visit the SMRT web site at: http://www.ismrm.org/smrt to learn more about the educational benefits of becoming an SMRT member. If you are not currently a member of the SMRT, it is not too late to join and take advantage of the discounted seminar fee.

The SMRT is committed to the advancement of quality education in the field of magnetic resonance imaging for technologists. Those seeking to expand their knowledge in this ever-changing imaging modality are invited to take advantage of this seminar. With your support we can continue to bring the latest in MR education to Bethlehem area technologists.

We hope you will accept this invitation to join us for an exiting educational day at St. Luke’s Hospital.  We look forward to seeing in Bethlehem.
