ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna

The ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna is one of the most important international conferences in the field of diagnostic imaging. Radiologists, medical technicians, scientists and industry representatives come together in Vienna to discuss the latest developments in radiology, research and clinical application. The congress is therefore not only a scientific forum, but also an economic platform for innovations in healthcare. Vienna has been the venue for this major event for many years. With the Austria Center Vienna, the city has a congress centre that can accommodate international numbers of participants. The ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna combines a scientific programme, industry exhibition and training in a structured overall architecture.

Radiology between research and clinical practice

The ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna focuses on imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound and interventional radiology. New studies, guidelines and technical advances are presented in scientific sessions. Typical topics include:

• Artificial intelligence in image evaluation
• Oncological imaging
• Cardiovascular diagnostics
• Interventional procedures
• Radiation protection and dosimetry

Radiology is becoming increasingly data-driven. Algorithms support diagnosis, automate routine tasks and improve diagnostic accuracy. At the same time, medical expertise remains central. The Congress addresses this balance between technology and clinical responsibility.

Industry exhibition and medical technology

An extensive industry exhibition will take place alongside the scientific programme. International manufacturers will present large equipment, software solutions and digital infrastructure for clinics and practices. The ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna is considered an important marketplace for innovations in medical technology. Among other things, the following will be on display:

• New generation MRI and CT systems
• Ultrasound devices with AI integration
• Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS)
• Cloud-based data storage solutions
• Workflows for digital radiology

Technological progress is closely linked to regulatory requirements. European medical device regulations and data protection provisions influence the market launch of new systems. The exchange between industry, users and authorities is therefore an integral part of the event.

Further training and promoting young talent

Structured continuing education is an essential component of the ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna. Workshops, hands-on courses and certified continuing education modules are tailored to different levels of experience. Young radiologists have the opportunity to present their research findings and build international networks. Promoting young talent is of strategic importance for radiology. The growing demand for diagnostic imaging requires well-trained specialists. At the same time, digital systems are changing the way clinics work. The Congress responds to this with practice-oriented training formats.

Vienna as an international congress location

Vienna is geographically located in the centre of Europe and has excellent transport connections. This location makes it easy for participants from Western and Eastern Europe as well as from non-European regions to attend. The city combines historic architecture with modern congress infrastructure. The ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna benefits from this environment. Hotels, public transport and cultural offerings create conditions that that international guests appreciate. At the same time, the congress contributes to the economic importance of the location.

Position in a global context

Compared to other radiology conferences, the ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna stands out for its European focus and scientific depth. While North American events are often more industry-driven, the European Congress combines clinical practice, research and regulatory perspectives. ECR European Congress of Radiology Vienna stands for an event that brings together scientific excellence and technological innovation in Vienna. The Congress has a significant impact on radiology in Europe and offers a comprehensive overview of developments that have a lasting impact on diagnostics and therapy.
