European Congress of Radiology
Fourth year Radiology Resident Eileen Delaney, MD and faculty member Alan Goldstein, MD attended the European Congress of Radiology held in Vienna, Austria from February 28-March 4. The congress is the annual meeting of the European Society of Radiology. This year, the congress had a total of 28,474 participants from around the globe, with 248 delegates from the United States attending in person.
The meeting boasts a large exhibition space spread across several buildings, and offers a multitude of educational sessions. The ECR also hosts unique 'Voice of EPOS' sessions during which authors present scientific and educational posters. This year, there were over 100 'Voice of EPOS' sessions on 4 stages. Dr. Delaney presented the poster, "Emergency abdominal radiography: A pictorial review of foreign bodies and associated complications" which she created with Professor Young H Kim. The poster was awarded a Certificate of Merit. This year 32 out of 2,573 posters received awards.
The European Congress of Radiology is a very well-run meeting in a beautiful city, and is certainly worth the trip!
