Two new courses in the programme chosen by ECR 2011 Congress President, Professor Yves Menu, are KISS (Keep It Simple and Straightforward); Musculoskeletal MRI – aiming to help general radiologists to report on common pathologies seen on everyday musculoskeletal MRI scans, and CLICK (Clinical Lessons for Imaging Core Knowledge): Common Clinical Cases, focusing on the combination of clinical and imaging knowledge and particularly how radiologists should apply clinical know-how in determining whether and how to undertake an imaging examination.

A range of new mini courses on the pancreas and cancer imaging, as well as sessions held in partnership with societies such as the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), and Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Collaboration will be highlighted in the ESR Meets programme, when the United European Gastroenterology Federation (UEGF) presents gastroenterology as a partner discipline. The UEGF session -- Optical and Virtual Colonography: Friends or Enemies? – will show the relationship between the two techniques from a gastroenterologist’s perspective, examining the relative merits of optical and virtual colonography and discussing integrated strategy. Other ESR Meets sessions will feature the radiological societies of France, Brazil and Iran, each demonstrating their countries’ radiological strengths.

In the huge (26,000m2) technology exhibition over 300 manufacturers, from the smallest publishers to giants such as Siemens, GE Healthcare and Philips will provide an unrivalled chance to catch up with the industry that drives radiology.

With so many offerings, as well as the beautiful host city Vienna – who would want to miss this? Better book early!
