Hundreds of delegates descended on Liverpool this week for the start of the United Kingdom Imaging and Oncology (UKIO) Congress 2022.
The three-day multidisciplinary scientific congress features cutting-edge content for a multidisciplinary audience addressing medical, scientific, educational and management issues in the fields of diagnostic imaging, oncology, and radiological sciences.
Running alongside is a large professional exhibition of equipment, services and technology.
Welcoming attendees, UKIO President Dr Rizwan Malik, said: "Nothing truly replaces the the value of networking and face-to-face learning and we are glad to be back".
To kick off proceedings, Pat Symonds, a legendary figure from the world of motorsport, gave delegates a fascinating insight into the comparative world of Formula 1.

He also highlighted the role played by Formula 1 teams in applying their skills to develop innovative ventilator technology during the Cvid-19 pandemic.
