Imaging in Japan 2026 - Radiology CME in Tokyo and Kyoto

Scientific Program

Imaging in Japan 2026

May 31 - June 3, 2026 at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo

June 5, 2026 Wellness and Business Mini-Conference at Hyatt Regency Kyoto

Welcome Dinner, Awards Dinner and Daily Hot Lunches Included

Accredited for 30.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM.

**The scientific program is subject to minor changes.**

Our scientific program will focus on key topics affecting radiologists worldwide, with leading-edge lectures in Body, Chest, MSK, Neuro, and Emergency Radiology. Given Japan’s leadership role in addressing the global aging population—over 28% of its citizens are now over 65—several sessions will spotlight Gerontologic Radiology. Emergency Radiology will also be a continued focus, including an consequential lecture on radiologic management of mass casualty events.

The conference will also feature interactive lunchtime Round Tables on imaging and leadership, creating opportunities for informal discussion with faculty. Popular plenary session quizzes will return as well—offering fun, engaging learning moments and a bit of friendly competition. The tradition culminates in the presentation of the prestigious Donald Resnick MSK Quiz Award to the top scorer in his challenging musculoskeletal imaging quiz.


Our newly launched Wellness/Business module to be held at The Hyatt Regency Kyoto will offer small group engagement opportunities, particularly beneficial for those interested in wellness and radiology business/leadership.
