About European Congress of Radiology (ECR)
The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is the annual congress of the European Society of Radiology and one of the largest medical imaging meetings in the world. It takes place every year at the Austria Center Vienna and brings together radiologists, radiographers, medical physicists, researchers and industry from across the globe. ECR 2027 runs from 3 to 7 March 2027 under the theme "Healthcare Reimagined", looking at how imaging supports precision medicine, multidisciplinary care and clinical decision making throughout the patient journey.
