Letter from the President

Dear Friends & Corporate Partners,

Welcome to the 25th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Spine Radiology. I’m delighted to invite you to join us February 10–13, 2027, at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco.

Our meeting brings together physicians, researchers, trainees, and other professionals who share an interest in advancing spine radiology. The program will offer a mix of scientific and educational sessions, practical workshops, and opportunities to discuss new research and developments in spine imaging and intervention. Whether you are early in your career or an experienced practitioner, I hope you will find ideas and connections that are valuable to your work.

San Francisco will be a wonderful setting for our time together. I encourage you to take part in the sessions, meet colleagues from across the field, and enjoy all that the city has to offer. I look forward to welcoming you to San Francisco and to an engaging and memorable meeting.

Vinil Shah, MD
