The European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR) has published its Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for Biomedical Imaging. The agenda identifies current challenges and needs in healthcare, illustrating how biomedical imaging and derived data can help to address these challenges, in order to stimulate dedicated research funding efforts and mechanisms.

The SRA was developed in collaboration with EIBIR`s shareholders representing scientific societies related to biomedical imaging, as well as EIBIR's Scientific Advisory Board. It identifies and describes five main challenges...

Tuesday, September 18, 2018 (ESR, Vienna) – The International Day of Radiology (IDoR) will be celebrated for the seventh time on November 8, this year focusing on cardiac imaging.

Cardiac imaging is a fast-growing subspecialty of diagnostic radiology that plays a huge part in the assessment and management of heart patients throughout the world. Cardiac radiologists – the experts in charge – supervise or perform imaging examinations, using technology such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and...

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is pleased to announce an official new record of 82,000 members worldwide. The milestone comes after the society ramped up its efforts to increase its membership application numbers this year through increased collaboration and outreach with national and allied science societies.

The record has occurred just as registration for the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2019 opens, with many people looking to benefit from reduced fees to attend Europe’s largest annual radiology meeting. Every...

The ESR and EuroSafe Imaging are proud to announce the publication of the European Guidelines on Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric Imaging in the European Commission’s Radiation Protection Series.

These guidelines have been eagerly awaited by radiologists, radiographers, medical physicists, as well as national radiation protection regulators. They are expected to play an important role in paediatric imaging practice across Europe.

The guidelines were developed by the European Commission-funded project PiDRL (European Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric Imaging), which was...

Following a productive meeting in July between the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the two societies have stepped up efforts to support radiographers together through a variety of different initiatives.

The ESR is currently working with the ASRT to highlight the benefits that ESR membership, which is free for ASRT members, can bring to radiologic technologists in North America. As Professionals of Allied Sciences members, such benefits include a special reduced fee...

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is happy to announce that the first stop on its Best of ECR tour will be the Brazilian Congress of Radiology (CBR), taking place in Fortaleza in October 2019. The city is located in the northeast of Brazil and served by an international airport. The project will see some of the best speakers from the European Congress of Radiology 2019 (ECR) travelling to Brazil to present their work to a new audience.

The decision...
