Two days of scientific exchange and professional community in Houston, 27–28 February 2027.

On behalf of the Texas Society of Neuroradiology, we invite you to join colleagues in Houston for two scientific days covering stroke, neurodegeneration, head and neck imaging, neuroinflammation, and advanced imaging. The meeting includes a guest keynote, a mock ABR neuro oral examination for residents and fellows, and a Saturday gala dinner.

Attend the meeting

  • Medical students: USD 50
  • Trainees (residents and fellows): USD 100
  • Faculty: USD 150

Registration includes the Saturday gala dinner. Hotels are within walking distance of the venue; no hotel block or negotiated rates have been announced.

Abstract opportunities

Medical students, trainees and faculty are invited to prepare original research, educational exhibits and case series. Submission details and deadlines will be announced.

The three best abstracts will receive three-minute podium presentations in Sunday’s Winning Abstract Session. Awards include a diploma and free registration for the 2028 annual meeting.

Guest keynote and gala

Christopher “Risto” Filippi, MD will present Artificial Intelligence in Neuroradiology: A Curse or a Blessing? during the Saturday gala buffet dinner at the InterContinental Hotel, Houston Medical Center. A Poker Tournament follows, led by Vinodh A. Kumar.

All programme times are local to Houston (Central Standard Time). Sunday’s career-path session and mock ABR examination run in parallel from 11:00.
