Radiopaedia.org and the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) are again collaborating on giving you all the opportunity to submit an adult brain case to ASNR 2023 Case of the Day.
Each day during the ASNR 61st Annual Meeting (April 29-May 3, 2023), a case will be shown as the official Case of the Day. This had traditionally been 'invite-only', but for a number of years, one of the cases will be chosen from cases you submit to Radiopaedia.org.
In addition to one ASNR 2023 case of the day winner, we will also be showcasing a number of the best submissions as our very own Radiopaedia.org 'cases of the day' on our home page and through social media. And, as if that wasn't enough, you will be contributing to your personal case library and making Radiopaedia.org even better!
There are a number of prizes available:
The winner gets two prizes:
ASNR23 Waived Virtual Pass (value of USD$1150). This registration fee includes online live broadcast of all plenary and keynote sessions for the entire event, plus all sessions on-demand after the conference. The prize is courtesy of the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR). The prize is not transferable or able to be postponed to a future meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact Erica Kruse, ASNR Director of Education, 630-574-0220, Ext. 229 or email ekruse@asnr.org.
The Radiopaedia.org editorial team will be selecting a runner-up who will receive a 12-month All-Access Pass to Radiopaedia's online courses.
Have a look at the prior winners and notable mentions:
To make your case eligible for the ASNR 2023 Case of the Day, simply:
Please make sure that your case is fully fleshed out (see our case publishing guidelines)
Submitting a case is easy, especially if you can access the DICOM file. It will be anonymized for you. Just click here to create a new case. If you are not already familiar with how this works, the following learning pathway is the best way to get ready.
Submissions close on March 7, 2023, and the winner will be chosen by the ASNR committee in the following couple of weeks. The winner will then be contacted by email, so please make sure the email listed in your Radiopaedia.org profile is correct.
The winning case will then be adapted by ASNR conveyors into one or more slides. You, our dear contributor, will not be required to do anything.
If you have any questions, please write to general@radiopaedia.org.
