It was an honor to represent the @RadiologyACR at 55th Brazilian Congress of Radiology (CBR26) meeting in Recife, Brazil.
The meeting was impressive in scale: more than 3,000 participants and 350 speakers, including over 30 international speakers. Its theme, “Bridges of Knowledge,” drew inspiration from Recife’s historic bridges and reflected CBR’s deliberate commitment to connecting generations, imaging, and innovation. With more than 10,000 members across Brazil and activities spanning professional training, continuing education, quality and management, and advocacy, CBR embodies the idea of a “home for Brazilian radiologists,” beautifully illustrated in CBR's president, Dr. Rubens Chojniak, opening remarks. Its growing network of partner societies worldwide extends that sense of community across borders, creating opportunities to share expertise and build collaborations that advance imaging quality and education.
I enjoyed sharing ACR initiatives in quality and education, including the ACR Learning Network, clinical designation programs, and our work in prostate MRI quality. Discussions with CBR leadership and international colleagues highlighted shared priorities and opportunities for future collaboration.
The excellent scientific program, memorable social activities, and opportunity to experience Recife’s culture made the visit especially enriching. As a U.S. physician with Brazilian roots, representing the ACR in Brazil was particularly meaningful.
Special thanks and hearty congratulations to Drs. Rubens Chojniak; Ronaldo Hueb Baroni, Director of International Relations; @mauzappa, Scientific Director; @SchuchAlice, First Treasurer and upcoming Director of International Relations; and @MorbeckFernando, Second Secretary, for their warm welcome and outstanding meeting.
It was also a pleasure to connect with Society of Abdominal Radiology board members who were attending the meeting, including SAR President Dr. David Kim and President-elect and dear friend Dr. @ErickMRemer.
Thank you to Drs. @waldchristoph (Chair Board of Chancellors) and @DSmethermanMD (CEO) for this opportunity.

A few highlights from #CBR26 in Recife.
A great few days of scientific discussion, teaching, and collaboration across genitourinary imaging.
I had the opportunity to co-coordinate the GU Imaging program, moderate the kidney session, and give a lecture on the role of MRI in prostate cancer screening.
Across the sessions, we discussed renal mass characterization and infiltrative lesions, VI-RADS and bladder cancer response assessment, and several aspects of prostate imaging, including PI-RADS, screening, active surveillance, PRECISE, local staging, PSMA, and MRI quality.
In my lecture, I focused on a question that is becoming increasingly relevant as MRI moves into the screening pathway:
Where can MRI improve the balance between benefit and harm in prostate cancer screening?
The goal should not simply be to detect more cancers, but to improve the detection of clinically significant disease while reducing unnecessary biopsies and overdiagnosis.
A special thank you to my colleagues at @hosp_einstein for sharing the cases that allowed us to bring part of our daily clinical experience into these discussions.
Many thanks as well to all our national and international speakers and moderators: @SchuchAlice, @baroni_ronaldo, Italo Ribeiro, Eduardo Medeiros, @pedropanizza3, @ErickMRemer, @MugliaValdair, Antonio Westphalen, @Purysko, @mauzappa, @QueirozMarceloA, and @RajanTGuptaMD.
It was a privilege to share these sessions with such an outstanding group.
Thank you to CBR and all participating societies for bringing us together in Recife.

A very illustrative and informative article on the three-piece penile prosthesis! Definitely worth reading.
Invited commentary (pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/rg…) on my published manuscript (pubs.rsna.org/doi/epdf/10.11…)
Thanks @SchuchAlice for the commentary

For all Brazilian radiologists out there!
This will be an amazing opportunity to learn and I will be happy to share my experiences as radiologists in Brazil, France, and the USA! Hope you’re able to attend! Appreciate the opportunity 🙏🏼

Honored to be recognized as a Top 30% Reviewer (With Distinction) for RG.
Sincerely thankful to Dr.@CMenias and the editorial team for this recognition. It motivates me to continue publishing, reviewing, and contributing with a thoughtful perspective to strengthen radiology.

Day 2: Imaging advances in bladder cancer
- VI-RADS anticipates stage & guides treatment decisions.
- Strong evidence (AUC 0.92–0.94, BladderPath trial).
- Guidelines: EAU 2024 endorses MRI for staging.
- Pitfalls remain: bladder distension, pseudodiverticulum, stalk.
Alice Schuch retweeted
Day 2: Urothelial tumors
- Upper tract tumors: risk stratification guides therapy; radiologist role is central.
- VI-RADS validated, reproducible, easy to use → supports bladder cancer staging.
- Post-treatment follow-up: nacVI-RADS promising after neoadjuvant chemo.

Agradeço o convite!Grande aprendizado ao lado de @ValdairMuglia e palestrantes do Cone Sur. Feliz por compartilhar nossa experiência em elastografia hepática @hospitalmoinhos
At #UroOnco2025, I had the opportunity to join the Imaging Course, with a lecture on renal focal lesions, and to take part in a multidisciplinary session on bladder cancer, presenting how we interpret VI-RADS.
Many tks to Ronaldo Baroni and Douglas Racy for the kind invitation!
