To optimize the care of women, men, and children with lower urinary tract dysfunction and/or pelvic floor disorders through education, research and involvement in health care policy.

The purposes of this Society are to improve the art and science of Urology through basic and applied clinical research in urodynamics and neurourology, voiding function and dysfunction, female urology and pelvic floor dysfunction, and to disseminate and teach these concepts.Urodynamics means the study of the transport, storage, and expulsion of urine.Applied clinical research involves both diagnostic and treatment modalities.

The Imaging in Jackson Hole course is designed to provide the tools for participants to enhance interpretation skills utilizing the latest imaging technologies.Lectures and cases will cover evidence-based practice techniques and protocols for improved diagnostic accuracy in multiple applications.At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Describe thoracic radiologic procedures for clinical cancer management.

• Explain the performance and processing of MRI and CT studies designed to depict anatomy and pathology.

• Use contemporary imaging techniques and protocols to accurately diagnose, stage and manage diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

• Apply quality improvement strategies to the practice of interventional radiology, with a focus on increasing efficiency, communication, and collaboration.

• Develop differential diagnosis that relates to the pertinent imaging and clinically relevant findings for each of the cases covered in this course.

• Outline the fundamentals of the latest advanced techniques in MRI and CT and their current roles and limitations in clinical practice.

• Apply advanced techniques and protocol design in CT, MRI, ultrasound, and Interventional Radiology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is heralded as a disruptive technology with the potential to revolutionise many industries including health and social care.

While AI has the potential to deliver significant health benefits, it is clear that there are some significant practical challenges, as well as ethical and regulatory concerns associated with the use of AI in healthcare.This conference will cut through the hype around AI. Delegates will have the opportunity to hear from both early-stage and established companies implementing AI technologies in novel domains. We will also explore some of the ethical considerations around how this technology can impact the experience of patients accessing established care pathways.

This presentation will discuss the present knowledge of pain biology - what pain is, why we have it, and why it sometimes doesn't go away - including the adaptive and the maladaptive ways that the nervous system changes when people are injured and experience pain.It will discuss the concept that pain is an emergent phenomenon that occus as a protective response when the available information supports the presence of (real or perceived) danger.Critically, such a definition highlights that there are many available inputs - beyond nociceptive input from an injury - that can influence and even initiate pain.Therefore, this presentation will also explore the range of factors that are known to contribute to pain and how we can use these to our advantage when treating patients, with particular focus on the importance of our language and communication.Lastly, this presentation will discuss treatments for pain that target the brain and the role that these may play in people with chronic pain.
