The aorta has been recognised as a complex, functioning organ in its own right. This development is reflected at ECR 2026, where Professor Nicola Galea urged the radiology community to adopt standardised imaging protocols as a basis for consistent clinical decisions. Further topics include a user-friendly portable ultrasound system for breast cancer screening, the advent of humanoid robot teams in surgery, and a smart balloon technique advancing fetal surgery.
