SCIICON 2025 is the annual national conference of SCII, a premier and exclusive society for chest imaging and interventions in India, offering an unparalleled platform to advance your expertise in thoracic radiology and interventional techniques.

Key Reasons to Attend:

Learn from Global Experts: Engage with distinguished national and international faculty, each with decades of experience in chest imaging and interventions, including pioneers in high-resolution CT (HRCT), interventional pulmonology, and molecular imaging.

Master Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Patterns: Develop proficiency in identifying and classifying ILD patterns using HRCT, with a focus on distinguishing usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and hypersensitivity pneumonitis and learn why it matters. Gain confidence in integrating Fleischner Society guidelines for accurate diagnosis. Familiarise yourself with newer concepts in ILD including pediatrics ILD. Get to understand newer concepts in smoking related interstitial fibrosis and structured reporting formats to improve clarity and enhance MDT communication.

Systematic Approach to Pulmonary Nodules: Learn evidence-based strategies for evaluating pulmonary nodules, incorporating Lung-RADS 2022 and the updated Fleischner Society criteria. Understand how to guide clinicians in risk stratification, biopsy decisions, and multidisciplinary management.

Hands-On Interventional Training: Practice advanced procedures like CT-guided lung biopsies, ultrasound -guided interventions including intercostal nerve block in a state-of-the-art simulation lab. Receive personalized guidance from top interventional radiologists to refine your technique in a risk-free environment.

Stay Current with Cutting - Edge Concepts :

Deepen your knowledge of emerging topics like - Perfusion CT in post treatment evaluation.

Electron Density CT in identifying early invasive carcinoma.

Photon Counting CT applications in chest imaging.

Grasp the emerging and established role of mri of lung using ultra short breath hold techniques including real time imaging and expand your diagnostic arsenal especially in pediatric chest imaging.

TNM 9th Edition: Understand updates to lung cancer staging for precise tumor characterization.

ICU Imaging: Master portable chest radiography and point-of-care ultrasound for critical care settings, focusing on ARDS, pneumothorax, and pleural effusion evaluation.

Quantitative Imaging: Explore AI-driven tools for lung parenchyma analysis and nodule volumetry.

Interactive, Case-Based Learning: Move beyond didactic lectures with dynamic sessions, including:

Case-Based Discussions: Analyze complex thoracic cases, such as ground-glass opacities, tree-in-bud patterns, and mediastinal masses.

"How I Do It” Workshop: Learn practical workflows for HRCT protocol optimization, dual-energy CT, and PET-CT integration.

Learning from Mistakes: Review common diagnostic errors, mimics (e.g., sarcoidosis vs. tuberculosis), and pitfalls in chest imaging.

Multidisciplinary Panels: Understand how radiologists, pulmonologists, and oncologists collaborate for optimal patient outcomes.

Network with Thought Leaders: Connect with luminaries in thoracic radiology and interventional pulmonology, gaining insights not available through online platforms like YouTube or educational websites.

Paper and Posters:Present your original research in diagnostic, interventions and AI categories in the field of thoracic imaging as Oral and E posters. Both trainees and young radiologists are welcome to participate. Suprising prizes await the winners in the competitive category.

Quiz: Prove your mettle by pitting with the best in the field. National quiz for trainees in an exciting format that keeps the adrenaline flowing. Accolades,honour and prizes await the winning team.

Chest imaging constitutes a significant portion of routine radiology practice, demanding expertise in HRCT, CT angiography, and emerging modalities like photon-counting CTand MRI. Whether you’re a radiology resident, fellow, or seasoned practitioner, SCIICon 2025 provides hands-on mentorship and practical learning to elevate your diagnostic and interventional skills.
