This case-based online course will commence with introductory sessions on May 4 and conclude with a dedicated day of interactive case discussions on May 18. During the two-week interval, participants will analyse and independently report 50 cardiac CT cases in English. The cases will cover a broad spectrum of coronary and non-coronary cardiac pathologies aligned with Levels 1 and 2 of the European Training Curriculum for Radiology.

The course is designated for board-certified general radiologists and radiology residents who would like to improve their expertise in cardiac CT. After successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded a certificate for solved cases in cardiac CT.

Registration will open in October

After the success of the first edition of the EACVI/ESCR Joint Summit in 2025, a second edition will be organised on 8 May 2026 in Zurich.

This event will bring together a diverse group of researchers and clinicians in cardiovascular imaging from across Europe. Whether you’re an emerging talent or a seasoned expert, this summit offers a unique opportunity to learn, collaborate, and exchange ideas.

This summit is designed for both radiologists and cardiologists (mainly specifialised in CT and MRI).

Explore Key Topics in Cardiac Imaging:

• Imaging in Cardiomyopathies
• Valvular and Structural Heart Disease – Multimodality Imaging to Guide Treatment and Improve Outcomes
• Personalized Cardiovascular Imaging – Tailoring Diagnostics and Therapy
• The Future of Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease – Innovation in Detection, Risk Assessment and Management

Why Attend?

• Learn from experts: Hear from leading speakers on the latest updates to guidelines and best practices, with stimulating discussions on the future of the field.
• Engage with peers: Join interactive sessions on the latest clinical challenges and innovations shaping patient outcomes.
• Shape the future: Discover how AI and sustainable imaging practices are transforming cardiovascular care.

This summit is more than a meeting—it’s an exceptional opportunity to advance your knowledge, connect with colleagues, and contribute to the future of cardiovascular imaging.

I am delighted to invite you to the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) Annual Meeting, taking place in the vibrant city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in October 2026.

Under this year’s inspiring motto, “Connect to impact,” we aim to connect ideas, disciplines, and people, to impact the cardiovascular imaging field. As cardiovascular radiology continues to evolve at remarkable speed, our shared strength lies in bridging gaps: between innovation and clinical practice, between established knowledge and emerging evidence, and between colleagues from all corners of Europe and beyond. A focus in the program will be on exploring how cardiovascular radiology can impact patient diagnosis and treatment.

Rotterdam, known for its modern architecture, bold spirit, and world-class innovation, provides the perfect backdrop for a meeting dedicated to building stronger links within our community. Join us for cutting-edge scientific sessions, hands-on workshops, interactive discussions, and plenty of opportunities to network and forge new professional connections.

We look forward to welcoming you to ESCR 2026 — where together, we build connections that impact the future of cardiovascular radiology.
