The 2nd resident’s review course was a continuation of the first held last year. Included this time were many topics which were not covered in the first course. The accent on Neuroradiology and ENT Radiology was reduced.

This conference was a bigger success than last year with 281 registrants, 150 o f whom were from outside Mumbai. We had a lot of feedback from the registrants, which led us to redesign the format for the next RRC in October 1998, which will consist of a core group of essential lectures to be repeated every year and advanced lectures which can be repeated every two or three years.
