Dear Colleagues, Friends and Sponsors,
on behalf of the European Societies of Cardiovascular Radiology and Thoracic Imaging, it is our great pleasure to invite you to come to Berlin for our second joint meeting 2023.
The meeting will take place in the heart of the city at a venue which combines optimum convenience for our meeting and comfortable accommodation on site. Public transport options to reach the site are ample, with Berlin main station nearby and fast S-Bahn connection to the airport. Besides the comprehensive educational and scientific program, the participants will have the chance to get a good taste of Berlin right outside the convention center: The worldwide known sights of the city are located at foot walking distance or just a short S-Bahn ride away.
The congress program will appreciate the potential synergies of a joint meeting, featuring a common track of educational and scientific lectures focusing on particularly interesting overlapping topics from both imaging fields – to be surrounded by a colorful bunch of lectures and workshops from all over cardiovascular and thoracic imaging.
As an ouverture, educational thoracic/cardiac imaging workshops of the Roentgen society of our host country (DRG) are planned the day before the meeting and will take the lead, preparing for a flying start into the main program.
Covering all formats of lectures from plenary sessions and state-of-the-art presentations to “hands on” in small groups, we will review and discuss the current best clinical practice and explore the future developments in our fields. We hope for stimulating and enjoyable discussions during the sessions, as much as during the informal features of the meeting, where there will be many opportunities for discussion, to meet and greet colleagues from many different horizons and backgrounds, to exchange, compare and learn. To take home new inspirations for your daily work and research and, last but not least, to establish new professional collaboration, networking and friendship.
Berlin itself needs no advertising. Around the meeting, feel invited to dive into the unique spirit of the place with its experimental, modern and inspiring atmosphere grounded on former and new elegance and its controversial history at the watershed between west and east. We invite you to take the extra time to see the museums, to taste the art and culture life of the city and to enjoy so much more there is to see and do.
See you in Berlin!
Karl-Friedrich Kreitner, ESCR 2023 Congress President
Jürgen Biederer, ESTI 2023 Congress President

Q2-Kurse Herz-CT und Herz-MRT - GERMAN
Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Freunde und Partner,
wir möchten Sie sehr herzlich im kommenden Herbst vom 25.-27. Oktober zu den Q2-Kursen Herz-CT und Herz-MRT nach Berlin einladen. Die Programmgestaltung der Qualifizierungskurse erfolgte nach dem bewährten Schema und unter der Ägide der AG Herz und Gefäße der Deutschen Röntgengesellschaft. Hier führen Sie ausgewiesene Experten auf dem Gebiet der kardialen CT- und MRT-Bildgebung durch das aktuelle und attraktive Programm. Kursinhalte des CT-Kurses decken neben den derzeit gültigen Leitlinien wichtige Grundlagen wie die Patientenvorbereitung, Management/ Pharmakologie, Strahlenexposition und Postprocessing ab. Daneben werden vertieft die präinterventionelle CTDiagnostik einschließlich Plaque- und Ischämiediagnostik behandelt wie auch die Bildgebung nach Bypass, Stent- und Klappenimplantation.
Analog zum CT-Kurs umfasst der MR-Kurs aktuelle Leitlinien und Studien zur kardialen MRT sowie Patientenvorbereitung, Management/Pharmakologie und Notfalltherapie. Danach werden die ischämische Kardiopathie gefolgt von den Kardiomyopathien: hier werden neben den klassischen Untersuchungstechniken weitergehende Techniken wie Mapping und Strain-Analyse behandelt. Sitzungen zu Klappen- und kongenitale Vitien runden das Programm ab.
Die Kurse finden vor und z.T. parallel zur 2. gemeinsamen Jahrestagung der European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) und der European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) statt. Dies soll Ihnen auch die Möglichkeit geben, Ihre erworbenen Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der kardiothorakalen Bildgebung durch die Teilnahme am Joint Meeting zu vertiefen. Wir haben uns – auch aus organisatorischen Gründen – verständigt, dass eine Teilnahme an den Q-Kursen zu deutlich vergünstigten Bedingungen bei Anmeldung zum Joint Meeting möglich ist.
Der Tagungsort Berlin ermöglicht aber nicht nur die Vertiefung der Kenntnisse in kardialer und thorakaler Bildgebung, sondern bietet weitere Möglichkeiten, den Aufenthalt in der Bundeshauptstadt abwechslungsreich zu gestalten.
Wir freuen uns, Sie bald in Berlin begrüßen zu dürfen!

Masterkurs Thoraxbildgebung - GERMAN
Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Freunde und Partner,
wir möchten Sie sehr herzlich im kommenden Herbst am 25. und 26. Oktober 2023 nach Berlin zum vierten Masterkurs Thoraxbildgebung einladen.
Neue Techniken wie die funktionelle Bildgebung der Lunge, die quantitative CT, spektrale Bildgebung und Photon-Counting-CT erweitern das Spektrum der Thoraxradiologie und bieten Chancen und Perspektiven für personalisierte Patientenversorgung. Neue Herausforderungen entstehen mit dem Lungenkrebsscreening. Zum Einstieg in diese Themen und zur Auffrischung vorhandenen Wissens haben wir in Zusammenarbeit mit der AG Thorax der Deutschen Röntgengesellschaft (DRG) sowie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Pneumologie (DGP) wieder ein attraktives Programm zusammengestellt, das Sie in die Grundlagen und in die Spezialthemen der Bildgebung der Thoraxorgane mit Focus auf die wichtigsten Lungenerkrankungen einführt. Ausgewiesene, erfahrene nationale und internationale Experten aus Radiologie und Pneumologie bringen Ihnen an den beiden Tagen die aktuellen „Hot Topics“ der Thoraxbildgebung nahe.
Der Kurs setzt die erfolgreiche Fortbildungsreihe der AG Thorax der DRG fort – diesmal in einem besonderen Rahmen in Zusammenhang mit dem ESCR-ESTI Joint Meeting 2023. In diesem Sinne schließt der sonst wie gewohnt deutschsprachige Kurs in zwei gemeinsamen Sitzungen mit der European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) in englischer Sprache, auf denen die wichtigsten Aspekte des Lungenkarzinomscreenings in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt präsentiert und diskutiert werden. Damit bietet sich die einmalige Gelegenheit, nach diesem kompakten Kurs zu Vorzugskonditionen auch das folgende ESCR-ESTI
Joint Meeting 2023 zu besuchen, weiter in die Welt der Lungen- und Herzbildgebung einzutauchen und das erlangte Wissen zu erweitern und zu vertiefen.
Wir freuen uns, Sie bald in Berlin begrüßen zu dürfen!

SCAM WARNINGS – BE VIGILANT!
Delegates, participants, exhibitors and other partners are continually targeted by companies claiming to be, or work with, event organisers. They use existing event branding and may appear genuine. In the past this has included directories and hotel bookings, besides other requests.
Our official partners are listed on the conference website, thus we ask you to retrieve all information and guidance from there only.
ESCR has no impact on possible scam attempts and thus will not assume any liability for such activity. Please do inform us immediately if you receive anything unexpected, looking like potential scam or that you are unsure of.
What to do if targeted by a scammer
In case you encounter or receive scam:
Ignore completely and do not communicate in any way. Writing letters and responding to emails simply confirms that you exist and are available at the address/email address/number they have and therefore to continue or try to pursue a payment.
1. Alert us immediately
2. Do not pay anything
3. Do not communicate with the scammers even when they threaten legal action
Hotel booking agencies
Please beware of hotel booking companies who contact participants, speakers and supporting companies claiming to be either a preferred supplier or, in some cases, working for our event, that demand up-front payment, charge substantial penalties for changes or cancellation and may not even make a reservation with the unapproved hotel.
We advise that you make your arrangements through reputable suppliers and not via unsolicited phone calls or emails.
Unsolicited Marketing Communications
Companies are being targeted by agencies claiming to supply exhibitor/visitor/participant lists and details relating to our events and products at a cost. Be aware that this data is likely fraudulent. If you receive any such unsolicited offers, please do not respond unless you have checked with us first.
If you are unsure of any correspondence received, please contact us directly at office@escr.org.
