Fachlich richtet sich der Kongress im Ärzteprogramm an radiologische Weiterbildungsassistenten und Fachärzte für Radiologie. Es sind zwei Hauptthemenblöcke geplant, sogenannte kategorische Kurse: Das erste Highlight ist „Neuroradiologie für Allgemeinradiologen“ und bietet in insgesamt vier Sitzungen einen Querschnitt durch die Radiologie von Kopf und Wirbelsäule mit vielen Krankheitsbildern, die uns in der Praxis und Klinik ständig begegnen.

Das zweite Schwerpunktthema ist „Muskuloskelettale Radiologie“. Altbekannte, aber auch jüngere Spezialisten für muskuloskelettale Radiologie werden ebenfalls in vier Themensitzungen einen systematischen Überblick über Erkrankungen nahezu aller Gelenke geben. Eingebettet sind die beiden kategorischen Kurse in eine Auswahl interessanter Themen, wie etwa Notfallradiologie, Thoraxradiologie, Mammaradiologie und vieles Weitere, z.B. das große Thema „Künstliche Intelligenz“. Auch Überschneidungsgebiete, wie zum Beispiel PET-CT und Szintigraphie, werden adressiert, weil es im radiologischen Alltag wichtig ist, auch Einblicke in das verwandte Fach der Nuklearmedizin zu gewinnen. Hands-On Workshops für „Angiographie und Intervention“, „Herz-CT“ und „Prostata-MRT“ bereichern den Kongress mit interaktiven Elementen und runden das Programm thematisch ab.

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).
