Founded in 2018
The Asian Society of Emergency Radiology (AsianER) represents a group of inspiring leader and member physicians along with medical personnel who have deep interest in imaging, minimally invasive intervention and care of emergent, critically ill and trauma patients in the Asian region. The founding members include the Japanese Society of Emergency Radiology (JSER), the Korean Society of Emergency Radiology (KSER), Taiwan Imaging Group of Emergency Radiology (TIGER) and Thai Emergency Imaging Group (ThaiEmerImaging)
We build a platform for education, networking, and sharing knowledge and experiences in emergency radiology and intervention among Asian members via regular and occasional meetings, symposia and conferences. We hope to inspire future generation of physicians and personnel to advance skills in emergency imaging and intervention for the care of emergent patients.
