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

What does SCR stand for?
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.
