This new conference is organised by the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) and the European Society of Oncologic Imaging (ESOI).

Our ability to understand and treat cancer is critically dependent upon imaging. This meeting will bring together imaging experts in both clinical and basic research arenas to present their latest research and discuss how to integrate understanding across length scales, imaging modalities, and cancer types.

Improved clinical imaging has the power to transform the detection and biologic characterisation of early lesions and the identification of those patients with more advanced disease for tailoring and monitoring personalised therapies. Further, the development of new therapies depends on improved understanding of cancer biology; small animal imaging and imaging tumours with cellular and sub-cellular resolution can elucidate heterogeneity in cancer cell state and interactions with stromal cells, which provide new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

The Baltic Congress of Radiology is a biennial event bringing together radiology professionals and students not just from the three Baltic States, but from around the world. The Congress is significant in the region because it allows to introduce the latest scientific achievements, share knowledge learned through practice, and establish contacts with colleagues from different countries. The official Congress language is English.

The 8th Congress of Radiology will be held at Kultuurikatel (Creative Hub), an old power plant turned into a venue with unforgettable design, just within walking distance from the city center and located at the verge of medieval old town. The event covers all main topics of radiology and is organized by the Estonian Society of Radiology (ESR) in collaboration with the Estonian Society of Radiology Technicians, Estonian Society of Nuclear Medicine together with Latvian and Lithuanian societies, and with the support of the European School of Radiology (ESOR).

Taking into account the needs of already established experts in cardiovascular radiology, but also of radiologists and radiographers with less experience in this field, the ESCR 2020 programme will be well-balanced between advanced and basic level, including continuation of the ESCR Young Club Sessions that were introduced last year with great success.

Cardiovascular imaging hot topics, including multiparametric cardiac MRI, functional CT techniques, imaging in cardio-oncology and neurocardiology, artificial intelligence and machine learning will be discussed, partly also through collaboration with ESCR partner societies. CT and MRI workshops will again be offered to those who would like to improve their practical experience using different software applications in the daily clinical routine. During the meeting, participants will be able to meet world-renowned experts in cardiovascular radiology and to share the knowledge and experience with them in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Learning objectives for this course:
• To understand the prostate patient’s journey from suspected cancer to the advanced disease state using the framework of definable clinical states.
• To know in detail the pathologic states, problems of categorisation and clinical needs of patients in each clinical state in the prostate cancer pathway.
• To understand how imaging can help meet clinical priorities and so promote the personalisation of care in the advancing prostate cancer pathway.
• To show how next generation prostate imaging (multiparametric MRI & MR-directed biopsies) and whole body assessments (whole body MRI & PET/CT) with clinical biomarkers, create opportunities to support and refine management pathways of patients.

This one-day event will cover the exciting concept of theranostics. This event will discuss the use of theranostics in the imaging and therapy of primarily oncological conditions. Our renowned international multidisciplinary faculty of expert oncologists, radiopharmacists, radiologists, physicists and nuclear medicine physicians will provide a comprehensive overview of imaging technology and therapies. Attendees will develop their skills in theranostics with talks covering radiological imaging, PET/CT, radionuclide therapy, regulatory requirements and new theranostic tracers.

This event will be of interest to all nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, oncologists, onco-surgeons, trainees, clinical physicists, technologists and healthcare managers.

This event will provide a platform for industry to demonstrate their current products and discuss their pipeline products that will soon be available. This will thus allow participants to become aware of what the state of the art products in nuclear medicine is and help them decide what may best suit their needs to improve services.

The two previous courses took place in the springs of 2017 and 2019 and were concluded with great success. Participants and faculty from every corner of the world, sharing a common interest in neuro-oncology and management of gliomas met and discussed all recent advances in this highly challenging field.

What does SCR stand for?

The Swiss Congress of Radiology – short SCR – is the biggest radiological scientific and educational meeting of Switzerland with an average attendance of over 1,200 professional and industry delegates. It is held every year in a different city in Switzerland.

Who organizes the SCR?

The annual Swiss Congress of Radiology is organised by the Scientific Committee of the Swiss Society of Radiology (SGR-SSR), in joint collaboration with the Swiss Society of Nuclear Medicine (SGNM-SSMN) and the Swiss Association of Radiographers (SVMTRA-ASTRM). Moreover, the following associated sub-societies of the SGR-SSR take part at the congress organisation: the Swiss Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SSVIR), the Swiss Society of Radiopharmacy/Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry (SGRRC-SSRCR), the Swiss Society of Emergency Radiology (SSER), the Swiss Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (SSSR) and the Swiss Society of Paediatric Imaging (SGPR-SSRP). In addition, the Swiss Society of Radiobiology and Medical Physics (SSRMP) contributes to the scientific programme.

How does the congress programme look like?

The programme of the SCR consists of refresher courses, plenary sessions with lectures by national and international speakers as well as scientific sessions with oral abstracts. Moreover, the latest updates in radiology are presented in the poster exhibition. The SCR offers a different programme for radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists and radiographers. On top of that, many different companies present their latest medical and technical products in the exhibition area. So the SCR is not only a place to listen and learn but also a platform for personal exchange between friends, colleagues and companies.

To which audience does the SCR address?

The SCR is interesting for radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists and radiographers working in public and private hospitals as well as in private practices. The Congress also turns to residents, medical students as well as students for radiography/nuclear medicine.
