NZ Imaging Working Group Meeting
The NZ Imaging Working Group Meeting brings together cardiologists, sonographers, nurses, and allied health professionals for a focused two-day programme exploring contemporary cardiac imaging practice. Held at Waikato Hospital in Hamilton, the meeting will cover key areas including mitral and aortic valve anatomy, prosthetic valve assessment, and real-world case presentations using echocardiography, CT, and MRI. The program combines practical anatomical sessions, updates on current imaging techniques, and interactive case discussions, providing an opportunity to strengthen clinical knowledge and share insights across disciplines. This meeting also supports professional connection within the New Zealand cardiac imaging community, with dedicated time for discussion and networking alongside the scientific sessions.
