SAR Annual Scientific Meeting 2027

The Society of Abdominal Radiology Annual Scientific Meeting runs in Carlsbad, California from 28 February to 5 March 2027. It is a subspecialty meeting focused on abdominal and pelvic imaging, drawing radiologists working across CT, MRI, ultrasound and interventional procedures in the abdomen. The programme covers hepatobiliary and pancreatic imaging, gastrointestinal and genitourinary radiology, oncologic staging and response assessment, and the growing application of artificial intelligence to abdominal image interpretation. Disease-focused panels bring radiologists together with surgeons and oncologists to work through management decisions, which is a distinguishing feature of the meeting. The week-long format and resort setting are deliberate: SAR is structured to allow extended discussion and informal exchange rather than compressed session blocks. Attendance is smaller than the major general radiology congresses, which keeps the subspecialty focus intact. Carlsbad has limited hotel inventory relative to major congress cities, and most attendees stay at or near the meeting venue for the full week.
