The International Society of Radiology (ISR) and the Radiological Society of Sao Paulo (SPR) are proud to hold the 27th International Congress of Radiology (ICR’2012) from May 3-6, 2012, at Transamerica Expo Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Promoted by ISR every two years in different places around the world, the meeting is coming back to Brazil 33 years after its last edition in this country, in Rio de Janeiro, 1977.

JPR is considered the main event of Diagnostic Imaging in Latin America and the fourth biggest in the world. It traditionally receives a significant number of people from all Brazilian states and from most countries in South America.

JPR is also known for its scientific program, since it gathers outstanding national and international speakers and covers the latest scientific topics related to Radiology. The technological and commercial exhibits are of the upmost importance for the Latin American medical market, which includes the participation of the most important companies in this area.
