Personal Statement
My academic and clinical interest is mainly focused on abdominal imaging and advanced imaging applications. Committed to promoting clinical excellence, education and research I have organised multiple courses and congresses on national and international level. I was privileged to gain experience through multiple leadership roles in Israel and worldwide and was internationally recognized by leading radiological organizations. Based on that, I have the understanding of the challenges facing the modern-day radiologist. To ensure high quality of Radiology in Europe membership of ESR in an integral part. The ESR reached a record of more than 120,000 !!! members making it the largest radiological society in the world if not one of the largest medical societies over all. I ask for your support for my candidacy as chair of the Finance and Internal Affairs Committee and I will do my utmost to maintain a high professional standard for our society members and keep close to you and your concerns.
