Visit from Dr. Bijan Bijan to Guatemala

Recently we had a surprise visit from California, it was Dr. Bijan Bijan who met Dr. Francisco Arredondo (world renowned guatemalan radiologist) in the past RSNA annual meeting that takes place every year in Chicago. Apparently he was going to Central America for vacation purposes but then decided to do a couple of lectures that's why he contacted our Chief of Department Dr. Otto Orellana here in Centro Medico Militar in Guatemala City.

He spend 2 days in Guatemala (3 maybe) in wich he visited the mayan city of Tikal and the colonial city of Antigua. We recieved an excelent dissertation on the use of MRI in acute abdominal pain and Fetal MRI.

Dr. Bijan is a board certified radiologist with training  in cross-sectional Body Imaging/MRI & Nonvascular Interventional Radiology, Montreal General Hospital, McGill University, Quebec, Canada. Member of the Radiology Society of North America; American Ray Roentgen Society; Society of Nuclear Medicine; North American Society for Cardiac Imaging; Society of Thoracic Radiology; International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
