Claudia understands firsthand the constant need for monitoring and the stress associated with various diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, MRI, CT scans, and endoscopic exams. She is acutely aware of the anxieties and challenges that are inevitable when living with an IBD. Claudia is passionate about enhancing patient care and believes that specialized healthcare training and better information materials are crucial. Her dedication to advocating for these improvements is now amplified since she became a member of the European Society of Radiology’s Patient Advisory Group in July 2024. Alicia England (United Kingdom) Alicia England Alicia England is British and born in Warrington, England. Alicia recently completed a law degree and has an interest in medical law and ethics which extends from her own experience of undergoing complex spinal surgery at a young age. Becoming a part of the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) Webinar Series as an audio-visual technician in 2021, she has experience in radiography and the involvement of patients in informing practice. She has contributed to charity activities helping raise money for patients receiving spinal surgery. Additionally, Alicia has delivered public lectures to multiple bodies including the UK National Health Service (NHS) to spread awareness of adolescent spinal surgery and its impact on patients and families. From an early age Alicia has undergone multiple types of radiological imaging, including X-rays, CT and MRI scanning. Following a diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, Alicia has experienced patient to imaging professional (radiographer / radiologist) relationships in terms of being imaged prior to, during and after complex surgery. Alicia understands the implications of undergoing radiology examinations and the impact of chronic disease on a young person. Alicia joined the ESR-PAG in 2024.

The activities of the former ESR Subcommittee on Imaging Biomarkers, ESR Working Group on Personalised Medicine and ESR-EORTC Working Group were merged into EIBALL.
Objectives
- Coordinate all ESR activities concerning imaging biomarkers
- Prepare an inventory of all activities and projects in the field of imaging biomarkers where the ESR is involved
- Serve as a tool box that provides information about current projects, centres involved in clinical trials and educational activities
- Define possible imaging biomarkers in different human body regions; oncologic as well as non-oncologic
- Establish a functional biomarker profile that is current and relevant through the development of an online inventory of biomarkers
- Enable and encourage the clinical use of biomarkers by setting standards for data acquisition and image processing
- Closely collaborate with EIBIR to maintain an updated list of European centres of excellence (core institutions) for the implementation and clinical validation of imaging biomarkers
- Closely collaborate with the EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and its Imaging Group with regard to the inclusion of radiologists in multicentre trials and the development of a biomarker inventory
- Closely collaborate with QIBA (technical validation synergies) to avoid duplication of development and EORTC (biological validation) to coordinate strategies, find complementarity, and benefit from synergies

Aims and Objectives of the RTF
The RTF’s objective is to represent the interests of radiology trainees within the ESR, especially with regard to education, careers, research and exchange programmes. The RTF’s most important goal is to provide an equal level of radiological knowledge and skills for radiology trainees all over Europe.
What are the RTF’s objectives?
Ø To stimulate discussion on educational matters within the ESR.
Ø To help with the development and assessment of common standards and to promote equal opportunities for trainees throughout Europe to broaden and develop their experience early in their careers.
Ø To promote research as a regular part of the radiological training curriculum and to encourage the development of paid research jobs.
Ø To aid and encourage the ESR to facilitate and increase the exchange of knowledge and experience among radiology trainees in different European countries. Ø To represent European radiology trainees and young radiologists in the:
- ESR Education Committee
- ESR Research Committee
- ESR e-Learning Subcommittee
- ESR Undergraduate Education Subcommittee
- ESOR Steering Committee
Ø To develop surveys to assess different aspects of our above mentioned aims and activities.
Ø To organise specific activities for radiology trainees during the European Congress of Radiology (Highlighted Lectures, Rising Stars Lounge, Meet and Greet Sessions).

Conduct policy
The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is an apolitical, non-profit organisation, dedicated to promoting and coordinating the scientific, philanthropic, intellectual and professional activities of Radiology in all European countries. The Society’s mission at all times is to serve the health care needs of the general public through the support of science, teaching and research and the quality of service in the field of radiology.
The integrity of its officers is essential to achieve this mission. It is critical to the integrity of the ESR that those serving in elected or appointed positions avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. All decisions and actions must be made solely to the benefit of the ESR, without regard to personal considerations.
In order to comply with these principles, all ESR officers are asked to complete a disclosure declaration form, following the ESR’s requirement to disclose any possible conflict between their duties towards the ESR and their private interests.
Declaration forms will be updated annually. When encountering potential conflicts of interest, ESR officers must identify the potential conflict and, when required, remove themselves from all discussion and voting on the matter.
The ESR may disqualify any individual from their activities within the ESR if a conflict of interest is not disclosed or cannot be resolved.
