ECR 2020 – Official annual meeting of ESHIMT

The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is not only the largest and most important medical imaging conference in Europe, it is also the official annual meeting of ESHIMT.

The congress is a trend-setting, dynamic and service-oriented congress, well-known as one of the most innovative meetings within the scientific community, embedded in a unique and inspiring ambience in Vienna, Austria. Every year more than 30,000 participants from more than 100 countries attend the ECR at the Austria Center Vienna.

There will be a large variety of sessions and scientific presentations on hybrid, molecular and translational imaging and, as such, we highly recommend to join the congress.
