Freezing temperatures, snow showers, and travel delays did not deter delegates at ECR 2005. The total attendance figure rose above 14,000, although the number of professional delegates declined slightly (8422 compared with 8677 in 2004). More than 1000 professional attendees traveled from Italy for this year's congress. Also present were 823 participants from Germany, 726 from Austria, 378 from the U.K., 332 from Poland, 311 from Greece, 303 from Hungary, 274 from Spain, 267 each from Norway and Sweden, 234 from France, 216 from the Netherlands, and about 200 each from Switzerland, Russian Federation, Denmark, the U.S., Japan, and the Czech Republic.

Next year's ECR will include a foundation course on musculoskeletal radiology and a categorical course on cancer staging. The host countries will be the U.K., Russia, and Singapore, and the president will be Prof. Andy Adam from Guy's, King's and St. Thomas' Medical School, University of London.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
