International Society for Forensic Radiology and Imaging (ISFRI) 2018 Congress

International Society for Forensic Radiology and Imaging (ISFRI) 2018 Congress is organized by ICMS Australasia Pty Ltd and will be held during May 10 - 12, 2018 at Bayview Eden Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 19.5 points to attend the entire conference or 1 point per hour of lectures attended.

ISFRI 2018, the combined 7th annual meeting of the International Society for Forensic Radiology and Imaging and the 13th annual meeting of the International Association of Forensic Radiographers.

ISFRI 2018 will be the first combined meeting of our societies to be held outside Europe. The Asia-Pacific region, of which Australia is a prominent member, contains many countries that are increasingly exploring the application of modern imaging techniques in medico-legal death investigation.

The conference will provide independent forensic medical and scientific expertise to the state justice system, tissue for transplantation and undertakes teaching and research in the areas of medico-legal death investigation and clinical forensic medicine. In addition, through the Monash University Prevention Research Unit, it conducts public health-focused injury research.

The Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine (VIFM) has extensive experience in the use of post-mortem cross-sectional imaging over many years, having installed one of the first mortuary-based CT scanners in the world. PMCT is now fully integrated into the work of medico-legal death investigation in our state and is specifically referenced in our coronial legislation.

The theme of integration will be central to the meeting with plenary lectures and invited guests highlighting the pathological, legal, investigational and societal integration of forensic imaging. Regional utilization of these imaging techniques in the Asia-Pacific will also be highlighted in presentations by pathologists and radiologists from representative countries.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
