About the SCR’25

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are very pleased to invite you to our annual society meeting, the Swiss Congress of Radiology 2025 (SCR’25) which will be held from May 15-17, 2025, in the Olma Messen, St. Gallen. This city offers a variety of attractions and experiences, such as a charming old town with colourful buildings, the Textilmuseum and the Stiftsbibliothek. Attached to the early medieval Abbey St. Gall, this library is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its stunning Baroque architecture and extensive collection of medieval manuscripts.

The Swiss Society of Radiology (SGR-SSR) and its associated societies (SGPR-SSRP, SSVIR, SSER, SSSR, SSRMP), as well as the SVMTR-ASTRM (Swiss Association of Radiographers) and the SGNM-SSMN (Swiss Society of Nuclear Medicine) are making a great effort to develop an attractive programme over three days. It includes many educational and scientific sessions, exciting lectures covering the entire spectrum of diagnostic and interventional radiology as well as more dedicated sessions for each subspeciality. For this, we have invited renowned national and international speakers.

The opening session on Thursday will focus on “Cloud computing in healthcare landscape” and “Cybersecurity – What can the radiologist do”? On Friday, we will repeat our very popular residents’ session “How to survive the nightshifts” which is usually a great success, not only from the residents’ point of view. The Saturday course, entitled “Many faces of autoimmune disorders” will discuss nearly each part of the body giving you broad insights in these often rare and sometimes complicated diseases.

We very much hope that the most important aspect of our congress, namely the conviviality of the exchange between colleagues will be able to flourish as usual in 2025. On Friday, we are therefore looking forward to spending a wonderful society evening with you, our colleagues and other new people while enjoying a magnificent dinner and party!

Sincerely yours,

 

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Schindera          &          Prof. Dr. Sabine Schmidt Kobbe
SGR-SSR Congress President                         Scientific Committee President

FAQ
What does SCR stand for?
The Swiss Congress of Radiology – short SCR – is the largest radiological scientific and educational meeting of Switzerland with an average attendance of over 1,200 professional and industry delegates. It is held every year in a different city in Switzerland.
Who organizes the SCR?

The annual Swiss Congress of Radiology is organized by the Scientific Committee of the Swiss Society of Radiology (SGR-SSR), in joint collaboration with the Swiss Society of Nuclear Medicine (SGNM-SSMN) and the Swiss Association of Radiographers (SVMTR-ASTRM). Moreover, the following associated sub-societies of the SGR-SSR contribute to the congress organization: the Swiss Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SSVIR), the Swiss Society of Emergency Radiology (SSER), the Swiss Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (SSSR) and the Swiss Society of Paediatric Imaging (SGPR-SSRP). In addition, the Swiss Society of Radiobiology and Medical Physics (SSRMP), the Swiss Society of Radiopharmacy/Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry (SGRRC-SSRCR) as well as the Swiss Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (SGUM-SSUM) contribute to the scientific programme.

How does the congress programme look like?
The programme of the SCR consists of refresher courses, plenary sessions with lectures by national and international speakers as well as scientific sessions with oral abstracts. Moreover, the latest updates in radiology are presented in the poster exhibition. The SCR offers a different programme for radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists and radiographers. On top of that, many different companies present their latest medical and technical products in the exhibition area. So the SCR is not only a place to listen and learn but also a platform for personal exchange between friends, colleagues and companies.
Which audience does the SCR address?
The SCR is interesting for radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists and radiographers working in public and private hospitals as well as in private practices. The Congress also turns to residents, medical students as well as students for radiography/nuclear medicine. As the official congress language is English, the congress is not only interesting for national participants but also for an international audience.
In which language are the lectures?

The official congress language is English. Therefore, all lectures and workshops are held in English (no translation provided).

Some abstracts might be orally presented in German, French or English during the scientific sessions, although the visual presentations are all in English.
