Radiographers

Thank you for your participation!

We look forward to seeing you at ECR 2020!
 

ECR 2020 Timeline

The ECR is recognised as the official annual scientific meeting in medical imaging for radiographers by both the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) and the European Society of Radiology (ESR). ECR 2019 offered a comprehensive and perfectly tailored programme for radiographers in various stages of experience.

• EFRS Radiographers’ Basic Sessions (BR)
• Refresher Courses (Topic: Radiographers) (RC)
• Special Focus Sessions (SF)
  • The 3D printing lab from bench to bedside
  • Clinical simulation and its role in radiography education
• Professional Challenges Session (PC)
  • Working in radiology: burnout and bore-out or engaged and passionate?
• Coffee & Talk (open forum) Sessions (C)
  • Clinical audit across Europe: how to increase uptake and support BSS transposition
  • Radiation protection in paediatric patients - same principles, different approach: use cases
  • #ECR2019: Social media in radiology

• EFRS meets Denmark
• ISRRT meets Africa
• Case-based Diagnosis Training
• Joint Sessions with related Societies
  • EFRS Workshop
  • Joint Session of the EFRS and EORTC
  • Joint Session of the ESR and EFOMP
  • ESR Audit and Standards Session
  • EuroSafe Imaging Session: Improving radiation protection in medical imaging in low- and middle-income countries: past actions and future directions
• Scientific Sessions

• Lectures and presentations by Radiographers at ECR 2019 (outside the dedicated radiographer sessions)

Have a look at the radiographer contributions to Women in Focus.

The IDoR book 2018 features three radiographer chapters in cooperation with EFRS/ISRRT:

• Current & future directions in cardiac MR: the radiographers’ perspective
• Current & future directions in cardiac CT: the radiographers’ perspective
• The role of radiographers in other areas of cardiac imaging

The ESR and EFRS have joined efforts in various European Commission funded projects. Recently, the societies have jointly contributed as project coordinator or consortium member to the implementation of the below projects. New endeavours are continuously evaluated and pursued.

• Evaluation of national actions regarding the transposition of Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom’s requirements in the medical sector - BSS Transposition (2016-2017)
• European Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric Imaging - PiDRL (2013-2016)
• Referral Guidelines for Imaging (2011-2013)
• Medical Radiation Protection Education and Training - A study on the implementation of the Medical Exposure Directive’s requirements within the European Union - MEDRAPET (2010-2013)

The EFRS is a shareholder organisation of the European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR).

The European Alliance for Medical Radiation Protection Research (EURAMED) is a joint initiative of EIBIR. The EFRS is represented in the alliance by Graciano Paulo.
