Welcome<br />

ESOR Steering Committee<br />

Scientific/Educational Director<br />

Heraklion/GR<br />

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 />

Course information<br />

This course has been designed to familiarise young radiologists with the<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 />

experts ensure a high-quality teaching programme, combining<br />

lectures and interactive case discussions.<br />

This <strong>GALEN</strong> course is implemented with great support and partnership<br />

of GE Healthcare.<br />

Learning objectives<br />

• to refresh knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy and diseases of the<br />

bones, joints and soft tissues<br />

• to learn more about most important findings and diagnostic algorithms<br />

in degenerative, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the musculoskeletal<br />

system<br />

The learning objectives for each lecture are available on the following<br />

pages.<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 />
