CIR in international meetings
2010 will be just as previous years, full of broad academic activity, plus the presence of CIR in two major international meetings: the first one was the International Congress of Radiology which took place last April in Shanghai. The following will be during the Annual Meeting of RSNA in Chicago.
RSNA Meets Latin America is the title of the presentation where a cast of CIR radiologists in charge of Dr Ricardo García Mónaco will introduce the audience the relevant aspects of relations, the prevailing pathology, designed imaging studies and work in progress done by radiologists of the region.
We are all invited! |

Good News!
Virtual Radiology-CIR Magazine release!
June, 2010
Dear friends:
Within its projects, the Development Plan 2010-2012, in section 2.4 Groups of academic programs, includes the strengthening of Radiology Magazines. As a result, the CIR’s “dream” of publishing a Radiology Virtual Magazine became true. We would like to hare this historic opportunity with you so that in the future it turns out into another CIR Education tool as successful as the rest (including RadiologíaVirtual).
The layout of the CIR Virtual Radiology Magazine will be similar to the other media of CIR such as: CIR-radiología.org, Noti-Cir, radiologívirtual.org and, now, the Virutal Magazine. In its first stage, it will include the 5 official magazines from the countries belonging to the primary group plus tow articles in each Magazine written in its original language and in English. This year we will publish 3 issues and, then, one issue every 3 months on order to publish 4 every year. The articles will be available through a link, which will have access to the complete content of the corresponding magazine.
From this very moment we are considering the best way to link the rest of the Radiology Magazines from the continent and the Iberic peninsula.
The radiology magazines of other countries are the most authorized and respected means of expression of scientific and academic production of its radiologists with educational aims. We shall keep as our cornerstone philosophical principle to exclusively spread the official CIR magazines, our reason of existence.
Finally, we invite all of you to take part of this important project.

As always, kind regards,
Rodrigo Restrepo
President of the Interamerican College of Radiology.

GO RAD |
 ¿What is GO RAD?
GO RAD is a new global outreach program developed by the International Society of Radiology. The purpose is to reach out to and advance radiology education throughout a global radiology community by aggregating current, practical, radiology literature with content targeted and dedicated to developing nations and underserved populations.
As the world of scholarship and education shrinks by virtue of the electronic tools available, it is appropriate for the international leadership in radiology to look to current and future global needs.
 Most major radiology journals publish online and offer educational content of tremendous value to radiologists and other related healthcare providers, but open and easy access to just published content is only available to subscribers.
Through agreements with these cooperating major radiology journals, the GO RAD platform provides immediate open access to a limited amount of otherwise restricted access content, providing an electronic link back to the original on-line article, at the time of first publication.
We hope that you take full advantage of this program to improve the health and well being of all.
STERN, Eric J. MD
Editor-in-Chief, GO RAD |

The history corner |

MIGUEL SERVET
He was a Spanish physician and reformist (he was born in Villanueva de Sigena, Huesca, 1511- Champel, Geneva, 1553).
After studying in Zaragoza he was a secretary for Carlos I’s confessor, and he joined him to the Diet of Ausburg in 1530; he stayed in Germany and became acquainted with the reformist groups.
The publication of his work De Trinitatis erroribus (1531) and Dialogorum de Trinitate libri duo (1532), where he exposed his ideas opposing the mystery of the Trinity, caused a strong reaction.
Afterwards, Servet moved to Paris, where he studied medicine and, then, worked in Lyon and Vienne.
He kept in touch with Clavin and, in 1546, he sent his book Christianisimi restitutio; but the Geneva reformer denounced him to the Inquisition and Servet was forced to flee the country; on his way to Italy, he was caught in Geneva and, after a long process, he was burned at the stake.
As a physician, Servet discovered the pulmonary circulation and its role in the oxygenation and purification of blood. According to him, blood “is transmitted from the pulmonary artery to the pulmonary vein through the lungs. In this course, blood turns red and gets rid of vapors and gases by means of exhalation.”
In the theological field, his doctrine denied the mystery of the Trinity since, according to Servet, each one of the three Persons is just a different way of expression of the same God.
From this standpoint, he represents the paradigm of freedom of thought and expression, preferring to die at the stake rather than repress his way of thinking.
For Aragon, his country, Servet, discoverer of pulmonary circulation, is one of the main pillars of Science and Culture together with writer and philosopher Baltasar Garcián (author of “The Criticón”, among other famous writings), the painter Francisco de Goya, and doctor Don Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
