The Neuroradiology Review Course was the first of its kind to be held in the country. It was for residents and practicing physicians in the fields of radiology and neuromedicine. There were 284 registered delgates, 30% of them being neuromedicine physicians or residents.

The two day course covered virtually all aspects of neuroradiology, except interventional techniques. The accent was on the basics and on approach.

The film reading sessions were very popular
