Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,
As we draw closer to the holiday season, we would like to extend our warmest greetings and take a moment to reflect on the memorable journey we have shared in 2024.
This year has been filled with remarkable milestones and accomplishments for the ESR and our community.
Early in the year we took a step into the future at ECR 2024 with its pioneering theme ‘Next Generation Radiology’. This congress was a bold exploration of emerging technologies and the ever-evolving role of radiology in modern medicine. The vibrant exchange of knowledge reaffirmed our commitment to shaping the future of medical imaging and embracing adaptation and innovation in our field.
In autumn, the Annual Leadership Meeting took place in Rome, offering a unique opportunity for our society to update the radiological community on key initiatives and future directions for radiology and the ESR. The gathering was a testament to our shared vision and dedication to advancing the field, and an important acknowledgement of the relationships we must build and nurture with national and subspecialty societies, international organisations and industry partners.
The end of the year also saw the launch of Modern Radiology, our rebranded eBook for Undergraduate Education in Radiology. This free learning resource is a dynamic blend of text, images, schematics, and clinical imaging cases and now covers both undergraduate and postgraduate educational needs. It is an ever-evolving tool for modern radiology training, one which we cannot recommend enough.
As we look ahead to the coming year, we are thrilled to invite you to join us at ECR 2025. With its theme ‘Planet Radiology’, this meeting will truly transport attendees to another world where, together, we will explore radiology’s critical role in addressing global health challenges and examine how we can champion sustainability in healthcare.
Thank you for your unwavering support, contributions, and shared passion for radiology. Our membership now stands at 142,467 members across 190 countries. Each and every one of you helps to make the ESR the vibrant and forward-thinking society that it is today.
We hope this holiday season bring you joy, peace, and an opportunity to recharge for the year ahead. We wish you and your loved ones a happy and prosperous new year, and we look forward to embarking on another extraordinary journey together in 2025.
With warm regards,
