May 22, 2023 - A groundbreaking EU-funded project, AI-POD, has been launched by a consortium of 11 partners from eight countries, with the ambitious goal of reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks in the obese population through innovative AI-based predictive tools.

Over the course of four years, experts from various fields, including radiology, computational imaging research and industry, will collaborate to develop a state-of-the-art imaging-based AI risk score, a clinical decision support system (CDSS), and a mobile app for personalized risk...

It is my pleasure to welcome you to a brand-new ESR event, connAction – Radiology Connecting Disciplines.

This two-day series of scientific and educational sessions will feature some of radiology’s biggest names sharing the stage with key representatives from subspecialties, allied sciences, and a huge range of other medical disciplines. The event will be streamed live online from Vienna and will be freely accessible to all via ESR Connect.

connAction will take place in parallel to the ESR Annual Leadership Meeting (ALM)...

A pioneering new EU4Health project has launched under the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, which will facilitate implementation of lung cancer screening programmes across Europe. 

The Strengthening the screening of Lung Cancer in Europe (SOLACE) project will break down the barriers to screening to ensure people across all social and economic groups can access it. 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer. As with all cancers, survival rates are much higher when it is caught early. ...

This project is co-funded under the EU4Health Programme 2021–2027 under grant agreement no. 101101187.

On January 1, 2023, a new EU-funded research project establishing an Open Consortium for Decentralized Medical Artificial Intelligence (ODELIA) has officially begun, with the goal of revolutionising Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare through the use of Swarm Learning (SL). Over the next five years, the project aims to overcome the obstacles of data collection in healthcare by utilising SL, where partners work together to train AI models without the need to share any personal patient data. Thereby, ODELIA will break...

The EUCAIM consortium and the European Commission are excited to announce the official launch of the European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM), a ground-breaking federated infrastructure deployment project aiming to power up imaging and AI towards precision medicine for Europe’s cancer patients and citizens.

EUCAIM will address the fragmentation of existing cancer image repositories and establish a distributed Atlas of Cancer Imaging with over 60 million anonymised cancer image data from over 100,000 patients, accessible to clinicians, researchers and innovators...

Dear colleagues, 
Dear friends, 

The holiday season is now upon us, and with this we would like to take time to reflect on the past year in radiology and look ahead to the one which is about to begin.  

This year has been a busy one for our society, characterised in many respects by a ‘return to normal’. Our travel to international congresses has begun again in earnest. We have held educational courses onsite once more with events being held...

The Conference on Hybrid Imaging Live took place last week marking its fifth anniversary. The event proved to be highly popular attracting more than 4,600 hybrid imaging enthusiasts and over 2,200 live viewers from 133 different countries.  

As in previous years, CHILI was held as an online-only event and was available to attend free of charge. Organised by the European Society for Hybrid, Molecular and Translational Imaging (ESHIMT) and hosted on ESR Connect, the conference was recorded in the...
