For the first time, the North Radiology Congress 2017 in Germany taking place 17-18 February will include a comprehensive course for both radiologists and radiographers, the German Radiological Society (DRG) said.

The congress will offer hands-on courses and workshops including ones on big data and thrombectomy. What's new this year is the inclusion of small group workshops for radiographers, the DRG added. There will be practical sonography workshops as well as those on theoretical everyday knowledge.

Further details about the meeting are available here.
