GE Healthcare
Re-think. Re-discover.
Re-invent. Re-imagine.
We have a shared passion. A desire to transform healthcare. By listening to your needs and putting the
strength of the world’s leading scientists, engineers and business people together, anything can happen.
The future of healthcare can change forever. Predict, diagnose, treat, monitor and inform in ways never
thought possible. Help patients experience what we call early health, which focuses on early prevention
rather than late diagnosis. If we can find disease sooner, we can help people live longer, fuller lives.
Together we can re-think, re-discover and re-invent. Healthcare Re-imagined.

As the first Austrian and even Viennese President of
ECR, I am equally delighted and proud to welcome
you to this year’s meeting in my hometown! ECR
2007 is the second official congress of the ESR, and
the thirteenth consecutive meeting to take place in
Vienna. Although I am not superstitious, I view this
as a good omen. The fact that ECR has never left
Vienna after the initiation of the new format in 1991
reflects the growing success of this meeting. This
is related to several factors, among them the highly
effective meeting organisation – the ECR/ESR office –,
its drive for excellence, and the astonishingly
high number of dedicated people working for this
meeting. It is also a consequence of continuous
improvements and innovations in the educational
and scientific programme, in meeting organisation,
meeting design, and style.
We have made extraordinary efforts to develop
a superb, comprehensive educational programme
which offers more sessions than ever, illuminates
all significant areas and touches upon all relevant
innovations in radiology. This programme will be
presented by outstanding young and seasoned
international speakers, both from within and outside
Europe. All in all, ECR 2007 offers an educational
gourmet selection that caters for every taste.
Likewise, the scientific programme has been
expanded, but not at the expense of sacrificing
the high quality of scientific presentations. While
maintaining our selectively low acceptance rate,
we have added four more sessions to entertain
high quality science provided by European and
international researchers. Looking at the final
scientific programme, it will be difficult for me (and
hopefully for everyone else) to choose between so
many attractive sessions.
Moreover, we have established a new interactive
learning centre which will allow you not only to
expand your knowledge using innovative interactive
teaching methods, but also to test your own
knowledge in certain fields. This should be both
educational and fun!
Dear delegates and visitors of ECR,
dear colleagues!
myESR.org
As interactive teaching was so well received within
the last years, we have made all efforts to expand
the interactive part of the teaching programme
to offer more of those successful and attractive
elements to a wider audience at ECR 2007. In this
context, we have also increased the seating for the
interactive teaching courses to alleviate the distress
of overcrowded rooms and hot temperatures.
In regards to the social programme, ECR and Vienna
offer a huge variety of cultural events, sophisticated
entertainment and culinary delights. ECR 2007
has a distinguished Viennese touch but one which
does not solely reflect traditional taste. We have
strived to blend historic and modern elements, and
integrate these into a ‘Viennese Melange’. The official
ECR poster, created by a contemporary multimedia
artist, is a visible symbol of this philosophy.
Vienna is not your everyday city, and ECR is not your
everyday meeting. Clear-sighted and bold leaders in
European Radiology as well as the brilliant ECR office
have developed a meeting format which combines
first rate education and science with modern style,
exquisite design, and entertainment. Our goal has
always been and will always be to increase the joy
in learning, to celebrate the art of science, and
at the same time, to entertain our visitors during
long and exhausting meeting days. The results
are visible to everyone: ECR is among the most
innovative meetings in this world, and takes great
pride in using style, design and entertainment as
supportive media to transport and deliver education
and science as our dearest core values.
Welcome at ECR 2007!
Christian J. Herold
ECR 2007 President

Robert R. Hattery was born in Phoenix, Arizona, in
1939, but his roots are in Indiana.
After receiving his B.A. in Anatomy/Physiology from
Indiana University, he went on to obtain his M.D.
from the same institution in 1964. An internship
at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, TX, was
followed by two years of military service before Dr.
Hattery moved to Rochester, Minnesota, to finish his
residency at the Mayo Medical School.
On completion of his radiology residency, Dr. Hattery
accepted a position as coordinator and teacher of
skeletal radiology and anatomy, paediatric radiology,
and diagnostic radiology at Mayo Medical School
and Mayo Clinic, where he would find a home for his
entire distinguished academic career. He discovered
his niche in diagnostic radiology starting in 1973,
when he was appointed as an instructor. He quickly
moved up the academic ladder at Mayo, reaching
the rank of professor in 1982. In 1981, he was
named chairman of the Department of Diagnostic
Radiology, a post he held for the next 5 years.
From 1994 to 1998, he served as chairman of the
Mayo Clinic Board of Governors, thus becoming the
chief executive officer for all of the Mayo Clinic’s
operations in Rochester.
At present, Dr. Hattery is immediate past president
of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)
and executive director of the American Board of
Radiology (ABR), a position he has held since 2002.
He maintains professor emeritus status at the Mayo
Clinic College of Medicine, where he devoted 30
years to his teaching and administrative duties. He is
currently a clinical professor of diagnostic radiology
at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where he is
involved in educating radiology and urology residents
in genitourinary imaging.
Dr. Hattery has devoted most of his career to
imaging of the genitourinary tract, with particular
emphasis on computed tomography (CT), CT
urography, ultrasonography, and contrast agents.
Furthermore, his interests lie in the fields of
organisational dynamics, transitions through change,
continuous quality improvement, board certification

Kaori Togashi
Kyoto/JP
was born in 1954 in Kyoto, Japan.
After receiving her M.D. from Kyoto University in
1979 and completing her residencies at the Kyoto
University Hospital and the Hospital of Shiga Medical
School in Shiga, Japan, she became assistant
professor in radiology at the Shiga Medical School
in 1980.
From 1983 to 1987 Dr. Togashi attended the
Postgraduate School of Medicine at Kyoto University,
where she graduated with a degree of Doctor of
Medical Science. From 1987 to 1989 she worked
as clinical associate at Kyoto Teishin Hospital in
Kyoto, and from 1989 to 1992 as Director in
Radiology at Otsu Municipal Hospital in Shiga,
before she moved back to Kyoto to become assistant
professor in radiology and nuclear medicine at the
Kyoto University Faculty of Medicine. After a short
stint as clinical associate at the Osaka Red Cross
Hospital in Osaka, Japan, in 1997/98, she then took
an appointment as associate professor in Hitachi
Medical Corporation Chair at the Department of
Diagnostic and Interventional Imageology. In 2003
Dr. Togashi went back to Kyoto as associate
professor at the department of radiology, where
in 2004 she was promoted to her current position
as professor and chairperson at the Department
of Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at
Kyoto University’s Graduate School of Medicine.
Dr. Togashi thus became the first woman to chair
a department at the medical school of Kyoto
University, one of the most prestigious universities
in Japan, known by its distinguished tradition and
outstanding achievements in basic science, and the
first woman in Japan to chair a radiology department
in a national university.
Apart from her vast œuvre in Japanese, Dr. Togashi
has published 117 original articles, 16 invited
reviews and 7 books in English, most notably ‘MRI of
the female pelvis’, and ‘Magnetic Resonance imaging

of expertise. Due to her reputation in this field, in
1997 Dr. Togashi was invited to become visiting
assistant professor in radiology at Harvard Medical
School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in
Harvard, Massachusetts/US. Dr. Togashi is now
striving to extend the horizon of MR imaging with
the use of cine MR imaging technique for the uterus.
This technique has attracted interests not only from
radiology, obstetrics, and gynaecology, but also from
the bioengineering society as a new tool to elucidate
biomechanics of the uterine function.
Dr. Togashi is a member of the Japan Radiological
Society (JRS), the Japanese Society of Magnetic
Resonance in Medicine, the Japanese Society of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Japanese Society
of Infertility, the Radiological Society of North

ECR Information
from A – Z

Publish Europe – European Radiology
The activities of ‘European Radiology’, official organ of
the ESR as well as of several European Societies of
Radiological Subspecialties, were highly satisfactory
during 2006.
The number of manuscripts submitted to ‘European
Radiology’ will reach new heights for 2006. Indeed,
we expect to receive more than 1,300 manuscripts
compared to 1,177 manuscripts in 2005. It is
especially pointed out that more than 88% of these
manuscripts deal with original research. This is
proof of the attraction of our journal for researchers
from all over the world to publish their material.
During the year 2005, articles previously published
in ‘European Radiology’ were cited 5,662 times; an
increase of 15% compared to 2004. The impact
factor now stands at 2.437.
The electronic manuscript handling system is
functioning to the great satisfaction of authors, peer
reviewers and editorial staff. I am particularly proud
that we were able to reach a mean time interval of
approximately 6 weeks between acceptance of the
manuscripts and their online publication.
De to the high inflow of manuscripts and the financial
constraints of the available printing space, the time
interval between manuscript acceptance and the
printed publication has unfortunately increased. In
the future all efforts will be made to improve this
situation.
For the future, the editorial board of ‘European
Radiology’ plans to remain at the forefront of
technological and editorial innovation in scientific
publishing, in line with the advanced policies
developed by ESR and its office staff.
This annual report is a very welcome opportunity to
express my deep appreciation and gratitude to the
deputy editors, the assistant editors, and the entire
editorial board for their enthusiastic and excellent
support. I also wish to thank the more than 900
reviewers from Europe and overseas, who kindly
and benevolently invested so much of their time
and expertise in order to achieve our high scientific
standards.

ECR Information from A – Z
Scientific Programme Planner / Abstract Viewer
All ECR 2007 abstracts can be accessed online via
the Scientific Programme Planner tool on the ECR
website. This easy-to-use tool allows you to explore
the entire scientific and educational programme by
session types, topics and dates. You can also search
for abstract texts, authors and abstract titles.
In addition, the system offers a user-friendly feature
to create your personal time schedule for the
upcoming meeting, either for printout or upload to
your PDA. It is very easy to customise your schedule
for ECR 2007!
Security / Safety
The safety of all congress attendees is of utmost
importance to the European Congress of Radiology.
The Austrian Center Vienna and the ECR have
taken security precautions to ensure the maximum
possible safety for all ECR participants. Please
inform our staff, especially our room attendants,
immediately in case security problems occur.
In addition, the ECR reserves the right to check
your identification upon admission to the congress
centre and/or inside the building. You may be asked
at any time to present adequate proof of identity
by showing either your passport, driver’s licence,
national or military identification, or student ID, all
with photograph and signature.
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted inside the Austria Center
Vienna. The ECR is a non-smoking congress. Outside
the building, we kindly ask you to use the ashtrays
provided.
Society Booths
Around 60 national and international radiological
societies present their meetings and societies within
the society booths area, which is located on the
entrance level, next to the registration desks and in
front of Foyer E and Foyer F.
Society Suites
Each of the main ECR topics will be represented
with a room provided to the respective subspecialty
societies. These rooms are intended as meeting
places and communication centres where
radiologists specialised in a certain field of interest
can get together and have professional discussions
and private meetings off the hectic congress life.
Computers with access to internet as well as access
to EPOS will be available.
For the locations of individual society suites, please
refer to the floor plan (2 nd level).
Special Assistance
Delegates with special needs may park on the lower
level as well as on the square in front of the main
entrance where wheelchair access is possible. With
the exception of rooms B and C on the 2 nd level
(where a ramp is provided), all lecture rooms have a
flat entrance and are accessible by wheelchair.
Special Exhibition
In compliance with ECR’s tradition of offering its
delegates an ambitious supporting programme at
the annual congress, ECR is proud to present again
an exhibition by Prof. Vogel from Hamburg/DE in
cooperation with the German Röntgenmuseum.
This year’s exhibit is headed ‘Travel. Transport.
Terrorism.’ and is presented on the 1 st level opposite
Room R1.
Special Focus Sessions
The concept of a Special Focus Session is to deal
with a topic at the cutting edge of development and
clinical application. A traditional didactic approach
is inappropriate for such a session, which should
reflect the lecturer’s forthright personal views on
a developing subject. The topics of these sessions
should be presented in such a way so as to
promote debate, or to give an in-depth analysis.
The chairman will introduce each aspect of the topic
and the panellists will then discuss their different
perspectives and opinions. The audience will have the
opportunity to discuss their ideas with the lecturers.
Attendance places will be allocated on a first-come,
first-served basis. Please refer to pages 86-90 for
the programme of the sessions.
52 European Society of Radiology

State-of-the-Art Symposia
These sessions will inform the audience about the
‘real state-of-the-art’ of a given subject. Each of the
lecturers is an expert in the topic as a whole or in
some specific aspect of the topic, which will be the
subject of the respective session. The presentations
will be followed by a discussion conducted by the
panellists, led by the chairman. Attendance places
will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please refer to page 85 for the programme of the
sessions.

Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME),
the accrediting arm of the UEMS, to AMA PRA
Category 1 Credits. Physicians (MDs, DOs or
equivalent international degree) may have their
EACCME credits converted to AMA PRA Category 1
Credits by applying to the AMA.
For further information about the conversion
of EACCME credits into AMA PRA Category 1
Credits, please contact the AMA at pra@amaassn.org
or visit the AMA website at:
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/
14348.html.
Worldwide
CME claimed at the ECR are accepted by almost all
national CME authorities worldwide.
Austria
The ECR is an accredited CME provider of the
Austrian Medical Chamber. The Austrian Medical
Chamber has granted a maximum of 40 DFP (Diplom-
Fortbildungs-Programm der Österreichischen
Akademie der Ärzte) credits for ECR 2007.
Germany
Austrian CME credits (DFP-Punkte) earned during
this meeting are recognized by all German Medical
Chambers 1:1. The key for converting CME hours
into DFP credits is as follows: DFP Credits = number
of hours x 60 / 45. The maximum number of DFP
credits to be earned at ECR 2007 is 40.

CME Acquisition Procedure
CME (continuing medical education) credits will only
be awarded, if
• the questionnaire provided at the entrance of
each session is fully completed,
• your unique personal CME sticker, which you will
receive together with your badge, is affixed,
• and the form is dropped into the provided box
immediately after the relevant scientific session.
The combined participation and evaluation
questionnaire considerably helps the next organising
committee to select subjects for future ECRs.
Evaluation sheets differ depending on the types of
the scientific event.
A maximum of 3 hours of attendance at the scientific
exhibition (SE) will be listed if the participant has
completed and submitted the online SE evaluation
form using EPOS (Electronic Presentation Online
System).
Guidance
Confirmation of participation in the scientific
programme is to be obtained as follows:
Scientific Sessions
1. Participate in the event of your interest.
2. Personalise the relevant questionnaire (evaluation
form) using your CME sticker, since otherwise it
is not possible to sort out the forms afterwards
and to provide confirmation.
3. Fill in this form completely during the session.
4. Drop the completed form into the box provided at
the exit of the room when leaving the session.
Scientific Exhibition
Attendance and evaluation are recorded online in
EPOS.
1. Enter EPOS (Electronic Presentation Online
System) and view the posters of your interest.
The pop-up window “Accreditation & Evaluation”
will appear 10 minutes after logging in, inviting
you to complete the evaluation form.
2. Fill in this form completely and press the
“Submit” button.
myESR.org
Claim CME at ECR 2007
Please note that confirmation of any additional
attendance of the scientific programme, for which
you have not submitted an evaluation form during the
congress, cannot be claimed at a later date as late
requests cannot be processed and can thus not be
included in your record of attendance.
CME Confirmations
Every participant will be able to view, download and
print his/her personal record of attendance from
the ESR website at www.myESR.org (My Personal
Area) on the condition that the above mentioned
procedures have been accomplished. This service is
already available onsite at the numerous computer
terminals and at the ESR booth near the registration.
Please note that your PersonaliD (former ECRiD),
printed on your badge, is required for login.
The printout of your record will be recognised by
the national accreditation society upon submission.
Please note that the record of attendance will be
issued only to the participant. It will not be supplied
to any accreditation agency or other organisation/
health authority.
After the congress CME certificates will still be
available online. To show and print your CME
certificates after the congress, please log into
the “My Personal Area” with your last name and
PersonaliD (former ECRiD).
Although participants may partially attend multiple
concurrent sessions, the total number of hours
printed at the end of the list limits the credit to the
equivalent of a single session during that time slot.
For further information, please contact the ECR CME
Support at cme@ecr.org.

e-Learning Tools – Learn from home
ESR is proud to introduce a new e-learning tool for both novices and
experts, which will be presented for the first time at ECR 2007:
ePACS.
ePACS offers a new method of learning on the basis of original
radiological reports with either self directed or guided training in an
emulated radiological working environment using a modified web based
PACS-system.

diagnose and draw up written results. At the end of each teaching file
an expert report including comprehensive multimedia explanations will
be provided. Participants will have the option to obtain a diploma by
using the supplied self assessment module.
ePACS intends to support lectures and courses by enabling participants
to improve their performance in diagnosing and reporting of cases
presented with clinical and radiological information only.

Years ago ECR has taken a bold step and introduced an allelectronic
scientific exhibition using EPOS, the Electronic Presentation
Online System, thus setting new standards in the medical meeting
industry.
At ECR 2006, the electronic scientific exhibition under EPOS
continued its path of success. 777 scientific and educational exhibits,
13 presentations by invited lecturers and 71 presentations by paper
presenters were displayed on 100 terminals on the traditional ‘EPOS
floor’.
Browse through more than 5,400 electronic exhibits of ECR 2003-
2006 as well as of several subspecialty societies including CIRSE,
ESGAR, ESMRMB, ESCR, ESSR and SIR.
The online EPOS database can be accessed free of charge by
everybody.
The largest peer-reviewed teaching database of radiology on the
internet offers free access to a wealth of medical information and
imaging data, whose accuracy and quality have been validated by some
of the most experienced radiologists in Europe.
EURORAD contains case reports for medical students (simple cases),
residents in radiology (everyday cases) and senior radiologists (complex
cases).
For easy retrieval of required cases, the website offers a new powerful
search engine as well as multi-lingual navigation. EURORAD allows you
to download, save, and print the cases as PDF documents, or e-mail
them via the web-based e-mail client.
All EURORAD cases are registered with a DOI (Digital Object Identifier),
which makes all cases citable.

(Junior) Image Interpretation Quiz
The Image Interpretation sessions, two traditional
highlights of every ECR, provide both education
and entertainment. Two panels of distinguished
radiologists will share their knowledge and diagnosis
strategy with you.
In the ‘senior’ quiz, European couples will challenge
each other in an enjoyable and exciting competition,
where they will face tricky cases. The moderator
will guide them, while two charming but impartial
referees will keep track of the scores and make sure
that the audience is entertained.
Registrants can study the cases onsite in EPOS
and on dedicated terminals in the entrance hall and
are encouraged to take part actively and submit
their diagnoses. The winners will be announced on
the ESR website after the congress.
The ‘juniors’’ slogan is: ‘Emergency Room’. The
panellists will be confronted with their cases
just a few hours before the session, which will
raise the suspense even more and the moderator
will guarantee a scientifically challenging and
entertaining session.

Scientific Exhibition Awards
An independent jury consisting of 111 European
radiologists has judged all scientific and educational
exhibits with regard to their scientific content,
educational value, originality and visual impression.
Taking advantage of EPOS, the rating was carried
out online, prior to the congress, enabling a detailed
and considered assessment.
On this basis, the scientific exhibition committee has
awarded prizes to the best posters, as follows:
Magna Cum Laude (6)
Cum Laude (10)
Certificate of Merit (15)
Each of the Magna Cum Laude winners will be
presented with a monetary prize (€ 1,500) and
a certificate. Winners of the Cum Laude and
Certificate of Merit award will get a certificate and
a small gift, which can be picked up at the EPOS
Office. All awarded posters are flagged in EPOS
and will be published on the ECR website. ECR 2008
registration fees will be waived for presenters of
Magna Cum Laude awarded posters.
Attendance and Evaluation
of the scientific exhibition are recorded online in
EPOS:
1. Enter EPOS and view the posters of your
interest. The pop-up window “Evaluation &
Accreditation” will remind you to complete the
evaluation form.
2. Fill in this form completely and press the
“Submit” button. The evaluation of the electronic
scientific exhibition is very important for future
planning. Your opinion and comments will be highly
appreciated. For those who login and who submit
completed evaluation forms, a maximum of 3
hours attendance at the scientific exhibition will
be listed in the record of attendance.
EPOS at ECR 2007 is kindly sponsored by Siemens.

Free Publications at ECR 2007
Pick up your free copies of radiology journals and magazines ...
Get free access to online radiology journals ...
ECR is proud to present its delegates with a new feature at this year’s meeting. We are happy to have
established a new form of cooperation with our partners in the publishing business, resulting in a new
service for our visitors – the FREE PUBLICATIONS booth.
On the first floor of the congress venue a beautiful stand can be found, especially designed to display both
print publications and online media in the most efficient manner. 33 publishers joined this new initiative and
present more than 40 print media and almost 30 online journals. Our partners include such top publishing
houses as Springer and Elsevier as well as smaller or until now lesser known publishers from all over the
world.
For the convenience of the congress participants, we have additionally set up electronic terminals in this
booth dedicated to online media only. Delegates have the opportunity to learn more about the different online
publications by simply clicking the banner of the relevant journal on the terminal.
Furthermore, dedicated ECR staff will be at the delegates’ disposal to distribute the journals and magazines
and provide visitors with detailed information and any assistance that might be needed.
Free bags will be provided, so pick up as many magazines as you can carry!
We hope you will enjoy this new congress service. If you want to share your opinion and suggestions, you
are invited to contact us at marketing@ecr.org

IMAGINE – the high-tech specialty exhibit
After being absent at last year’s congress – and
bitterly missed by many delegates – a most popular
feature of former meetings will be reinstalled at ECR
2007 – IMAGINE, the high-tech specialty exhibit.
The former IT committee of ECR, Prof. Davide
Caramella, Prof. Wiro Niessen (as successor of
Prof. Bart ter Haar Romeny) and Prof. Joachim
Kettenbach, together with the ECR Executive
Committee, decided to re-establish IMAGINE in
2007, since an exhibit of this contents and quality
would certainly further contribute to ECR’s reputation
as one of the world’s outstanding conferences
regarding high-tech in radiology.
The main aim of IMAGINE in 2007 as well as in
the following years will be to provide a platform at
ECR to show new technological developments in
the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology.
In contrast to the technical exhibition which shows
already available products, IMAGINE will focus on
research and give a preview of future evolution and
trends. IMAGINE aspires to function as ‘antenna’ for
developments soon to come but not yet commercially
on the market.
The focus will be on CAD, interactive visualization,
image guided interventions & robotics, and computerbased
training.
IMAGINE – the high-tech specialty exhibit
myESR.org
The location on the second floor of the congress
venue in Foyer A is ideally suited for the presentation
of IMAGINE, as it will provide sufficient space for all
groups and for discussions in front of the booths.
It will therefore help to intensify cooperation and
further contact between individuals, institutes and
universities, thus adding to ECR’s status as perfect
meeting place for all those who want to be part of
the future of imaging.
Opening hours:
Friday, March 9 to Monday, March 12
08:00–18:00
Tuesday, March 13
08:00–12:00

Special Exhibition
Travel, Transport, Terrorism
A notably popular feature at the European Congress
of Radiology is the special exhibition initiated and
compiled by Prof. Hermann Vogel from Hamburg,
Germany, in cooperation with the Deutsches
Röntgenmuseum, which has for years been part
of the annual meeting. Thus, ECR 2007 is glad
and proud that Prof. Vogel again presents his
fascinating findings and his very particular view of
imaging techniques.
This year’s exhibit is entitled ‘Travel, Transport,
Terrorism. X-Rays Serving Security.’ As Prof.
Vogel states in his accompanying text, travel and
transport can both be targets of terror attacks,
and they play important parts in their preparations.
Travel, transport and terrorism have become part of
our daily lives and elements of globalisation.
X-rays make hand luggage, parcels and containers
transparent. Everybody knows the airport examines
these items and that dangerous objects hidden
inside them will become visible. X-ray technology is
employed to impede terrorist attacks by searching
for weapons and explosives. If explosives are
suspected, then the controller will search for an
ignition device – the radiograph may show and
document details, which may indicate the culprit.
X-ray technology allows for the identification of
items which have induced suspicion, without opening
cases, baskets and containers. It also shows the
location and permits identification of objects hidden
about the person, without the need for personal
searches. Fire-arms can be recognised by their
form, size and absorption of x-rays, while explosives
and drugs are identified by dual energy imaging
and x-ray spectroscopy. Even people can be found,
hiding within the contents of a truck.
The exhibition shows how x-ray technology
can perform today and what the results are.
Conventional fluoroscopy with transmission images,
backscatter technique, dual energy technology,
computed tomography and spectroscopy are all
used. Images of the whole body, produced by a
scan with a pencil or fan beam, show the body
and its contents. Backscatter technology produces
images of the body without clothing that are
similar to photographs. One can foresee that
in the near future the different methods will be
employed in combination, not only successively,
80 European Society of Radiology

ut also simultaneously. In combination, computed
tomography and spectroscopy are able to localise
and identify explosives and drugs in pieces of
luggage. One can suppose that the use of x-ray
technology in security is at the beginning of a new
stage of development, which is influenced by the
political situation and by society’s perception of the
threat of terrorism. It becomes clear that x-ray
technology has a potential which surpasses the
possibilities of diagnostic imaging in medical care.

Special Exhibition
Prof. Hermann Vogel is head physician at the
Albers-Schönberg-Institute, the department of
radiology at St. Georg Hospital in Hamburg. During
a stay as visiting professor in Monterrey, Mexico,
he noticed that violence in South America somewhat
differs from violence as experienced in Central
Europe. His methodical collecting led to findings
of victims of war, torture and various other crimes
(A Radiologic Atlas of Abuse, Torture, Terrorism,
and Inflicted Trauma, CRC Press 2003). A request
for images from amnesty international launched
his first exhibition. Today there are four exhibits
available, with legends in German, English, French,
Polish and Arabic, which have been shown more
than 50 times throughout the world.
The new exhibition, which is shown for the first time
at ECR 2007, features again more than 20 posters
with partly provocative images that illustrate the
increasing role of imaging techniques in terror
prevention and combat. It is presented on the 1 st
level opposite Room R1.

Radiology Integrated Training Initiative (R-ITI)
Saturday, March 10, 08:30–10:00, Room Z
This session describes the Royal College of
Radiologists’ Integrated Training Initiative (ITI)
– a national e-learning development for radiology
training in the UK. We describe the circumstances
and environment of traditional radiology training in
the UK, and the drivers for change.
The presentations describe the project from its
inception, through development of the basic concept
to materials, delivery and to future applications and
developments.
We will present in detail the educational design
and the national structure for e-learning content
delivery: both as tutorial-style, interactive e-learning
sessions (eLD) and the creation of a national
resource of validated teaching cases – the Validated
Case Archive (VCA). We will outline how these
components support directed and self-directed
learning and will present options for different
learning environments, including purpose-built
facilities.
Assessment is a fundamental component in the
design, and we show how the project incorporates
elements of both formative and summative
assessment; how this is designed, delivered,
undertaken and recorded. Future developments for
CME, revalidation, appraisal and even professional
examinations are explored.
122
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the potential uses of e-learning in
radiology training.
• Understand that creating learning materials
presents different challenges to creating
teaching materials.
• Formulate a structure for the delivery of a largescale
e-learning radiology project
• Be aware of the problems and challenges that
such a project entails

The workshop is organised to provide participants
with an introduction to the most important
issues in percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy of
breast lesions under stereotactic and ultrasound
guidance.
Percutaneous imaging-guided needle biopsy has
increasingly become an alternative to surgical
biopsy for the histologic assessment of breast
lesions. Percutaneous biopsy is faster, less invasive
and less expensive than surgical biopsy. Tissue
acquisition is performed with automated large
core needles or directional vacuum-assisted biopsy
probes. In some instances, cytology is helpful,
but requires a strong collaboration with a trained
pathologist. Guidance for percutaneous biopsy is
usually provided by stereotaxis and ultrasound. In
the near future, MRI may play a significant role,
especially in high risk patients. Imaging guidance
depends on lesion type and the results of diagnostic
imaging studies. This workshop reviews indications,
advantages, limitations and controversial issues
in percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy of breast
lesions under stereotactic and ultrasound guidance.
Time Schedule:

Hands-on Workshops
Participants will work on phantoms to learn how to
hit a lesion or, for the more experienced, how to
improve their personal “hit rate”.
Participants will have the opportunity to attend a
series of lectures on the most important issues.
Then, during practical sessions, they will be
instructed how to perform breast biopsy under
stereotactic and ultrasound guidance. State-of-theart
equipment, including different automated large
core needles and/or directional vacuum-assisted
biopsy probes, will be available and sessions will
be arranged to allow time for each participant to
perform examinations under supervision.
Participants are required to attend the complete
workshop.

This workshop aims to expose participants to a
developing new paradigm in interventional training
– the use of computerised medical simulators.
Training in interventional catheter-based procedures,
especially with the increasing use of non-invasive
imaging, has made it difficult for doctors to become
skilled. Patients can experience pain, and be at
increased risk during the trainee’s learning phase
for a new instrument or technique. The simulator
attempts to reproduce the physics and physiology
of the human cardiovascular system. Various
procedures – such as diagnostic angiography,
angioplasty, stenting (renals, carotids, subclavians
and peripherals) – can in theory be learnt prior to
performing on patients. What we know today is that
these simulator models can provide the participant
with an opportunity to experience, and probably
learn, the various steps of a procedure – choosing
appropriate catheters, wires, stents, and angles of
fluoroscopy rotation.
All this learning is without the use of X-rays,
exposure to blood or pain/danger to patients!
Come and see the future in vascular interventional
training and test your skills!

Diagnostic workstations are the “super-assistants”
of the modern radiologist. Each year, new
applications are added to the repertoire. The
radiological end-user not only has the responsibility
to deliver quality work to her/his patient, she/he
also has the responsibility to understand what is
under the hood of the programme (“how does it
actually work?”). She/he should be able to judge
the relative merit of the applications, by comparing
different solutions, and estimate the importance
of constraints, like the number of false-positives in
CAD, the error sources in quantitative analysis, and
object definition problems in 3D visualisations.
This workshop gives a state-of-the-art overview,
focusing on insight and experience in a range of
powerful workstation applications. The workshop
focuses on 3 main areas:
• Computer-aided diagnosis
• Quantitative image analysis
• Interactive 3D visualisation
In the three workshops the participant is presented
two 45 minute lectures by renowned experts in the
field, with the first lecture focusing on applications,
and the second lecture on the technical details. The
second part of each workshop gives the hands-on
experience in a dedicated “reading room”. In a 45
minute session the participant can practice the
presented applications on industry- and academiasupplied
workstations with dozens of practical
example datasets. Experts are available to guide the
participants through the applications.
The lectures are given once. 24 workstations
are available Friday through Monday, from 14:00
to 15:45, and are reserved for your session
according to pre-registration. It is recommended
that participants attend at least one lecture (90
minutes) and one hands-on session (45 minutes).
