No matter where in the world you come from, when it comes to MR, we all have the same problems and questions and things to discuss and share.
If you have a really tricky problem, you may get some help from our world-class speakers. They are always invited to our social events at the yearly meetings. They enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and are available for all kinds of questions and interesting discussions.

HCB News: For MR professionals who aren't sure if they should be attending, what kind of questions should they ask themselves?
TO: Am I interested in learning a lot more about MR at a world-class professional meeting in Paris?
Would I like to be part of a large network of outstanding professionals to learn more and share MR experiences?
Do I want to be engaged and work internationally with a large group of dedicated and experienced MR technologists/radiographers [who] also may become committee friends of mine?
Do I have easy access to updated news about MR safety and technology?
Would my employer want me to be an even better MR technologist/radiographer and let me learn a lot in just a few well-spent days in France?
Why don’t I tell my employer all about this terrific meeting and ask her/him if I can attend?
HCB News: As a global organization, is it a challenge to address the unique priorities of MR professionals in different regions of the world?
TO: Even though we have possibilities to translate via dedicated software solutions, it is not that easy to reach out to countries where English is not being taught in school. Our organization’s most active areas are mainly in North America, Australia, New Zealand and some parts of Europe. We have also noticed increasing involvement and activities in Asia.
It is much harder to establish SMRT education and organize meetings in a non-English-speaking country, but efforts are being made and we do have engaged and dedicated members that are doing a terrific job.
I am the first president [who] does not have English as my first language and I must admit that I am very lucky to have patient SMRT friends [who] seem to understand me even though my ‘Swenglish’ must be disturbing sometimes.
