Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR)

The Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) was created in 2012 out of the merger of the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists and the Society of Uroradiology, two premier organizations during their existences. The Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists and the Society of Uroradiology first collaborated in 2000, as they produced the First Abdominal Radiology Course, which will continue under the Society of Abdominal Radiology. The success of the Course was one of many reasons why the two organizations felt as if they could be stronger and provide more as one society. The Society of Abdominal Radiology was formed with a vision of being the organization in which the medical profession as a whole looked to for expertise in abdominal radiology.
