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.

As we are not able to get together with you this year at our traditional Annual Meeting, we have thought of a way in which we can still keep the knowledge exchange alive within our community. Therefore, we are most excited to bring you 20 hours of on-demand education in the form of pre-recorded webinars.

Starting with October 24, 2020 and until December 7 (23:50 CET), all pre-registered attendees will receive access to 20 lectures, which can be viewed at one’s discretion.

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.

A two day fully interactive case based webinar course, aimed at consultant and senior trainee radiologists and focused on MSK MRI imaging, taught by a faculty of experts in their field.

This webinar features a unique online PACS viewer, delegates will have real time full access to a wide range of cases presented at the sessions. Infomed’s webinar mainstream platform will enable delegates to interact with faculty, raise questions and discuss cases.

This two day course provides 12 CPD points approved by the Royal College of Radiologists and is also approved for 1 Credit Point (Category 2) towards the ESSR Diploma.

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.

Educational aims:

• To become aware of state of the art nuclear medicine radipharmaceuticals and the appropriate indications for use of these products
• To become aware of state of the are imaging cameras to evaluate the advantages and limitations of products
• To learn about current software packages and what functions these can provide

The IBUS course is an intensive 3-day teaching programme with thoeretical and practical topics covering all forms of breast imaging.

The International and Local Faculty consists of imaging and breast disease experts selected to demonstrate the optimum utilization of imaging modalities for the detection and diagnosis of malignant and benign conditions using  high resolution ultrasound, X-ray mammography and magnetic resonance imaging.

The Course is suitable for clinicians and allied health professionals with basic and advanced knowledge.

The Scientific Program consists of lectures, interactive case studies and practical “hands-on” workshop sessions.

The course is aiming at covering all aspects of gliomas, from their genetic analysis and profiling to the most advanced surgical resective techniques and the long-term follow-up and support of these patients. An astonishing multi-national faculty, including leading figures in the field of neuro-oncology constitutes a guarantee that the participants will be able to familiarize themselves with all advanced imaging and surgical techniques, utilized for the most efficient and the safest management of patients with intracranial gliomas. A well-balanced combination of vivid presentations, stimulating debates, highly-didactic video sessions, and practical hands-on will ensure that each participant will be exposed to all diagnostic methodologies, to the most updated surgical strategies and to the most recent adjuvant treatment protocols. Moreover, the interactive e-poster session will serve as a forum for exchanging bright new ideas regarding basic science, translational, and clinical glioma research.

This is the third installment of this comprehensive practical workshop of diagnosing and managing patients with intracranial gliomas. 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. As the official congress language is English, the congress is not only interesting for national participants but also for an international audience.
