INTERVIEW WITH THE ESR PRESIDENT
YOUTH AS A CENTRAL THEME

AT ECR 2017
In March this year, ECR Today, the daily congress newspaper,
spoke with ESR President, Professor Paul M. Parizel, from Antwerp,
Belgium, to learn about his new position, his visions for the society and
his ideas for next year’s congress.

Interview
Our PPC for ECR 2017 is carefully constituted, with bright

and talented individuals of different ages and back-
grounds, representing many nationalities and specific
areas of expertise and knowledge.
Of all my duties as ESR President, chairing the PPC is

one of the most pleasant tasks. We first met in an inau-
gural session, in early December 2015. Further dedicated
meetings are organised by working groups, based on the
different schedule. Our meetings are true brainstorming
sessions, and many innovations and new ideas are formed
around the table.
I consider it a privilege and an honour to lead this group,

and I often feel like the conductor of a symphonic orchestra,
working together with all the musicians towards improving
and fine-tuning our great symphony, which will be ECR 2017.

MEETS SESSIONS
Once again, the ESR will welcome a number of guest
countries to the ECR as part of the ‘ESR meets’ programme.
The national radiological societies of Belgium, Peru, and

the United States of America (represented by both
the ACR and the RSNA), will present their most recent
scientific developments in joint sessions with the ESR,
and try to strengthen links between professionals from
different countries and disciplines. The European Federation
of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) will also host its own
‘meets’ session for radiographers, in conjunction with
representatives of the Association des Professionnels en
Imagerie Médicale (APIM) and the Vereniging Medisch
Beeldvormers (VMBv).
Both the ESR and the EFRS warmly welcome these societies
and hope to see ECR delegates attend the sessions in large
numbers.

NEW HORIZONS
SESSIONS
The New Horizons Sessions aim to provide practitioners with
an overview of the new developments in a specific area of
practice, whether it is a subspecialty, a particular technique,
or certain diseases.
These developments may become routine within a few years,

or may indicate a new direction for research and clinical
application.
Each session is 90 minutes long and features an introduction

from a chairman, followed by three or four brief presentations
on different aspects of the main subject, and concluded by
a panel discussion that will hopefully answer some critical
questions.
Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

STATE OF THE ART
SYMPOSIA
These sessions will inform the audience about the ‘real state
of the art’ of a given subject. Each of the lecturers is an
expert on the given topic as a whole or on a specific aspect
of the topic.
The 90-minute sessions are chaired by a moderator who will

introduce three to four speakers addressing various issues
within wider subjects such as anatomical regions, specific
diseases, or particular techniques. The presentations will be
followed by a discussion conducted by the panellists, led by
the chairman.

SPECIAL FOCUS
SESSIONS
The concept of a Special Focus Session is to deal with a topic
at the cutting edge of development and clinical application.
A traditional approach is inappropriate for such a session,
which should reflect the lecturers’ forthright personal views
on a developing subject. The topics of these sessions should
be presented in such a way as to promote debate and give an
in-depth analysis.
The chairman will introduce each aspect of the topic and the
panellists will then discuss their different perspectives and
opinions. The audience will have the opportunity to discuss
their ideas with the lecturers.
Session length: 90 minutes; three to four speakers.

The European Diploma Prep Sessions aim to prepare
prospective candidates for the European Diploma in
Radiology (EDiR).
They are also suitable for residents who want an overview

of the various topics relevant to imaging and for those
preparing for their national board examinations.
The content of the programme reflects Level I and Level II

European Training Curriculum (ETC) learning objectives
across a two-year cycle. The sessions are held in close
cooperation with the European Board of Radiology (EBR).
Each of the six sessions is led by three lecturers and

moderated by one chairman.

E3 THE BEAUTY OF
BASIC KNOWLEDGE
The Beauty of Basic Knowledge programmes focus on
knowledge essential to the daily practice of radiology.
The format of these sessions reflects the tradition of
conventional teaching sessions, in which experienced
teachers share their insights into a topic of particular
relevance with a group of attendees.
A Beauty of Basic Knowledge session either consists of

45-minute lectures held by one or two speakers (plus 10–15
minutes of discussion per lecture), or two 25-minute lectures
and a general discussion. The teaching format is usually case-
based, and features some interaction with the attendees.
The content of the sessions is mostly tied to the Level I

European Training Curriculum (ETC) learning objectives.
The Beauty of Basic Knowledge sessions are suited
to residents and board-certified radiologists who want
to refresh their knowledge of basic topics in imaging and
image-guided therapy.

ECR ACADEMIES
The ECR Academies consist of a series of four to six sessions
relevant to a particular area of radiology. This may be a
classic organ-based field or a technically oriented area of
another field related to radiology, such as management.
Each ECR Academy spans several days, in which the different
facets of the area in question are covered by experts in the
field. An ECR Academy is a coherent course in which the
different sessions complement one another in order to reflect
the entirety of the field.
The ECR Academies are particularly suited to general

radiologists or radiologists with a subspecialisation.

Renowned professors from all over Europe will give basic lectures, prepared
especially for trainees.
JOINT ESR/ESOR SESSIONS

Organised in cooperation with the European School of Radiology, these sessions
will focus on radiologic anatomy.
STUDENT SESSIONS
The submitting authors of the 32 best abstracts will be invited to the ECR to
present their work, with their accommodation and travel expenses paid by the
European Society of Radiology.

This special session on the professional roles of the radiographer will be held
together with the European Federation of Radiographer Societies.
REFRESHER
COURSES
Refresher Courses, as the name suggests, aim to refresh
knowledge, reviewing and updating the more basic subjects
for those who have not kept up to speed with certain
developments, or who just need a reminder – something of
interest not only to young radiologists but also experienced
doctors.
The length of each course is 90 minutes (classic Refresher

Course: three parts of 30 minutes each, including the
introduction and time for discussion; integrated Refresher
Course: three parts of 23 minutes each, leaving enough
time for the introduction by the chairpersons and the panel
discussion).
The course will be given by two or three lecturers and led

by one or two moderator(s) on a defined subject of clinical
imaging, imaging technique, interventional radiology and
related subjects.
