Design Upgrade for NOT i CIR
Upon the beginning of the fifth year of NOT i CIR, the electronic newsletter of the Inter-American College of Radiology, the editors and producers have worked on a new presentation. This format, simpler and lighter, intends to make reading easier. We maintain the original idea of short articles so that it can be read entirely in 2 to 3 minutes. However, when the nature of the news deserves longer comments, or further information, the reader may access the hidden text by clicking on the title. We hope our readers like these changes, and we will appreciate your including any comments and suggestions you may have in the section at the end we have called “Contact NOT i CIR”. Dr Miguel E.

Bioethics Committee Code of Ethics
Andrés Peralta Corneille, M.D., CIR Bioethics Committee’s Coordinator, prepared the document that established the general guidelines recommended for an ethical professional performance. This document was reviewed by the Advisors to the College and approved unanimously by the CIR Assembly, which recommended it be adopted by Ibero-American radiologists and be placed on a permanent basis on the Web page www.cir-radiologia.org In Dr. Peralta Corneille’s words, this document constitutes a general guideline that can be adjusted, supplemented and improved by experts in different countries; any suggestion for improvement being welcome at the General Secretariat. Andrés Peralta Corneille, M.D., radiologist in the Dominican Republic and a well-known international expert in Bioethics, has been a valuable and restless collaborator for both the Dominican and continental radiology during his academic career. Former President of the Dominican Society of Radiology, he has been a delegate to the CIR Management Council for many years, and has participated in the coordination of two Radiology Congresses in the Caribbean organized by the College. As a member of the formerly called Ethics and Bylaws Committee, Dr. Peralta proposed to separate the dual activities of that Committee, which action was approved in the amendment to the Bylaws in May 2006 thus giving ground to the creation of the current Bioethics Committee whose coordination has been commissioned to him.
Bylaws and Regulations Committee
CIR’s Bylaws on the Web page Julián Sánchez Cortazar, M.D., informed the Assembly that the Bylaws that currently governs the Inter-American College of Radiology has been written in three official languages: Spanish, English and Portuguese, and posted on the Web page for consultation. The Coordinator further informed that the Committee will be in charge of initiating the revision of several regulations in force in 2008. See the statutes: click here
