The congress will open with a postgraduate course entitled „One Story in Four
Chapters: A Journey Along the Biliary Tree.“ Like a book, this course will unfold the
story of the biliary system, from its embryological origins and normal anatomy to the
full spectrum of congenital, inflammatory, infectious, traumatic, and neoplastic
conditions affecting it. The participants will explore the latest diagnostic techniques
and interventional strategies, shedding light on complex cases and ensuring a
comprehensive understanding of this pivotal system.
The main congress will highlight cutting-edge advancements in gastrointestinal and
abdominal imaging, from artificial intelligence to breakthrough techniques in
oncologic interventional radiology. Through expert lectures, image-guided therapy
sessions, tutorials, interactive workshops, School of ESGAR sessions, and case-
based discussions, there will be provided valuable insights that will directly impact the
daily practice and research. Additionally, we will emphasize the importance of
multidisciplinary collaboration, recognizing the fundamental role radiology plays in the
diagnosis, treatment, and management of abdominal diseases.
