Dear Colleagues,<br />
The European School of Radiology has become an<br />
integrated and multi-dynamic initiative that aspires<br />
to extend teaching resources throughout Europe and<br />
worldwide, to assist in harmonising radiological education<br />
and to enhance the scientific profile of radiology.<br />
One of the main ESOR activities is the <strong>GALEN</strong> project<br />
in partnership with GE Healthcare, offering foundation<br />
and advanced courses.<br />
All courses have been designed to use an established<br />
course format, combining lectures and interactive<br />
workshops, offered by internationally renowned<br />
European experts. The courses have been specifically<br />
structured with the trainee radiologist in mind and<br />
deal with subjects of practical importance; they have<br />
an interactive character, encouraging informal and free<br />
communication between participants and lecturers. They<br />
are also supported by an online self-assessment test.<br />
The <strong>GALEN</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Courses</strong> aimed at residents in<br />
their 1 st , 2 nd or 3 rd year of training in radiology, are<br />
primarily assigned to the geographic area of Central<br />
and South-eastern Europe.<br />
Five such courses will take place, related to topics<br />
across the modalities. We are very happy to introduce<br />
a new course on breast imaging as well as reintroduce<br />
a course on oncologic imaging for 2011.<br />
Further topics will include chest/cardiovascular, neuro<br />
and paediatric radiology.<br />
The <strong>GALEN</strong> <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Courses</strong> are aimed at 4th<br />
and 5 th year residents and recently board-certified<br />
radiologists. The four courses taking place are focused<br />
and structured along the line of recent advances in<br />
cross-sectional imaging including abdominal, cardiac,<br />
musculoskeletal and urogenital radiology.<br />
In this brochure you will find the relevant programmes<br />
and venues for 2011.<br />
We would like to emphatically encourage you to<br />
participate. Since the courses are very popular, you<br />
should book your place quickly.<br />

Galen<br />
Greek:<br />
Latin: Claudius Galenus of Pergamum<br />
Arabic: Jalinos<br />
Galen was an ancient Greek physician<br />
whose teaching was influential all the<br />
way up to the Renaissance. His views<br />
dominated European medicine for over<br />
a thousand years and Galen’s work can<br />
be seen as building on the Hippocratic<br />
theories of the body.<br />

City information<br />
Vilnius is not only the capital and largest city of Lithuania but also the<br />
major economic centre and one of the largest financial centers of the<br />
entire Baltic States. It is a cosmopolitan city and home to 65 churches<br />
and many universities. Having its roots in the early 13th century, Vilnius<br />
is situated in southeastern Lithuania at the confluence of the Vilnia and<br />
Neris Rivers, an important trading point for centuries. After being under<br />
Russian, Polish and German occupation, Vilnius has now been rapidly<br />
transformed and has emerged as a modern European city. Many of its<br />
older buildings have been refurbished and a business and commercial<br />
area is being developed in the New City Centre, expected to become<br />
the main administrative and business district. Vilnius was designated<br />
European Capital of Culture in 2009.<br />

established approaches and most recent achievements in diagnostic imaging,<br />
related to paediatric radiology. Internationally renowned European<br />
experts ensure a high-quality teaching programme, combining lectures<br />
and interactive case discussions.<br />
This <strong>GALEN</strong> course is implemented with great support and partnership<br />
of GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics South Central Europe.<br />
Learning objectives<br />
• to illustrate day-to-day problem-solving in paediatric radiology<br />
• to familiarise attendees with the paediatric approach to common and<br />
less usual clinical problems<br />
• to provide clear and logical algorithms in various clinical situations<br />
• to illustrate the importance of the Alara principles<br />
The learning objectives for each lecture are available on the following<br />

City information<br />
Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. It is located in Western<br />
Bulgaria, at the foot of Mount Vitosha in the Sofia Valley that is<br />
surrounded by mountains on all sides. Settlement in this area dates back<br />
at least 5000 years, making Sofia one of the oldest cities of Europe. It<br />
is the administrative, cultural, economic and educational centre of the<br />
country. The city is known for its numerous mineral and thermal springs<br />
and has an extensive nightlife with many night clubs, live venues, pubs,<br />
mehani (Bulgarian traditional taverns) and restaurants. The capital’s<br />
main attraction is probably the ample opportunity for Sofianites to make<br />
use of the city’s sprawling parklands, many of them densely forested. The<br />
Vitosha Natural Park which includes a big part of the Vitosha mountain<br />
to the south of Sofia, covers an area of almost 270 km² and is located<br />
entirely within the city limits.<br />

City information<br />
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on<br />
the Vltava River in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural<br />
and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1,100 years. For<br />
many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance periods, Prague was<br />
the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus it was also<br />
the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Since 1992, the extensive historic<br />
centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage<br />
Sites, making the city one of the most popular tourist destinations in<br />
Europe, receiving more than 4.1 million international visitors annually.<br />
The history of Prague spans thousands of years during which time the<br />
city grew from a castle known as Vyšehrad to the multicultural capital<br />
of the Czech Republic. Prague suffered considerably less damage during<br />
World War II than some other major cities in the region, allowing most<br />
of its historic architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the<br />
world’s most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Art<br />
Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and<br />
ultra-modern.<br />

City information<br />
The first mention (in writing) of Umeå dates back to the 14 th century but<br />
the northern parts of Sweden were populated before this time. There<br />
was a big destructive fire in 1888. In the subsequent restoration silver<br />
birch trees were planted widely to prevent future fires from spreading.<br />
For this reason Umeå is sometimes known as “Björkarnas Stad”, the<br />
“City of Birches” or “Little Stockholm”.<br />
Umeå is the biggest city in Norrland, the capital of Västerbotten County<br />
and the seat of the Umeå Municipality. Umeå is a Swedish center of<br />
education,of technical and medical research, with two universities and<br />
over 30,000 students. Umeå has been expanding for several decades<br />
and is one of Sweden’s fastest growing cities. Umeå has become a<br />
capital of culture in northern Sweden. The Opera of northern Sweden, the<br />
Norrland Opera, is based in the city and the annual Umeå Jazz Festival<br />
is one of the major Scandinavian festivals for modern jazz. The city was<br />
selected to become the European Capital of Culture in 2014.<br />

City information<br />
Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal with a population of<br />
564,657. Situated on the north banks of the River Tagus, the charm of<br />
Lisbon consists of its strong links to the past. Lisbon is one of the oldest<br />
cities in the world. Julius Caesar made it a municipium called Felicitas<br />
Julia, adding Olissipo to the name. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes<br />
in the fifth century, it was captured by the Moors in the eighth century. In<br />
1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city for<br />
the Christians and since then it has been the major political, economic,<br />
and cultural centre of Portugal. Its refurbished palaces, magnificent<br />
churches and an impressive castle reflect the city’s rich cultural heritage.<br />
A city set on seven hills, as the legend tells, with its cobble-stoned<br />
pavements and narrow streets full of Art Nouveau cafés promises a<br />
lot for the visitors to discover. Most popular spots in Lisbon are: Baixa,<br />
Alfama, Mouraria and Belém.<br />

City information<br />
France’s fourth largest metropolitan area, located at international<br />
crossroads, is a dynamic financial centre, also well known as a patron of<br />
the arts and a site of historical significance. In 2004 it was designated<br />
as one of the capitals of European Culture. Since that time Lille has<br />
turned into an important tourist destination, recognised for its charm in<br />
hosting visitors, its inviting environment, its well-preserved heritage and<br />
its active cultural life.<br />
Lille is situated on the Deûle River, near the French-Belgian border.<br />
Lille features an array of architectural styles with various examples of<br />
Flemish influence, including the use of brown and red bricks. In addition,<br />
many residential neighborhoods, especially in Greater Lille, consist of<br />
attached 2-3 story houses aligned in a row, with small gardens in the<br />
back. These architectural attributes, not very common in the rest of<br />
France, turn to make Lille into a kind of bridgehead connecting France<br />
with the neighboring countries of Belgium and the Netherlands - even to<br />
some extent reaching over to England.<br />
