42nd International Diagnostic Course Davos
The 20 different workshops will discuss the medical imaging approach to the diagnosis of Diseases of the Abdomen and Pelvis. Furthermore, interventional techniques will be discussed. The instruction will be in groups of about 50 participants which rotate through all 20 workshops. Each class room is equipped with a sufficient number of computers, on which individual viewing of the cases in small groups of three participants is possible. During workshops, participants study and discuss the case material on the PC. Teachers then guide the participants through the cases, discuss the differential diagnosis, present additional material and ask questions. Teachers can easily be approached during breaks to individually discuss unsolved problems. Highlight-lectures will accompany the workshops.

12th ESGAR CT-Colonography Hands-On Workshop
CT-Colonography (CTC) has been proven to be a viable alternative to double contrast barium enema and colonoscopy in symptomatic patients, accurate and with good acceptance. It is also considered to be a potential screening technique for colorectal cancer. At present CTC is being introduced in many institutions. Performance and especially the evaluation of CTC require specific knowledge and skills. In 2003, ESGAR introduced hands-on workshops on CTC. The workshops are specifically aimed at providing practical skills and information; both for those considering starting CTC at their institution as well as for experienced individuals. These practical skills and information are provided in several formats: ‘How I do it’ presentations, presentations on new developments (bowel tagging, image processing), discussion sessions and hands-on training on workstations by international experts.Workstations of several vendors are available, giving the possibility to obtain experience with different workstations and software.

6th ESGAR Liver Imaging Workshop
Liver imaging has evolved into one of the main fields of application in our discipline thanks to the impressive technological evolution of all modalities and the development of new contrast media in particular tissue specific agents. The aim of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive coverage of all the main liver pathologies that will be presented by means of an integrated multimodality approach. Imaging findings will be analyzed on the basis of their pathological correlations. The format of the workshop will include formal lectures that have been assigned to expert Colleagues able to thoroughly discuss each topic. Moreover, an interactive discussion on real clinical cases will be led - in additional “slots” - by the Faculty members who will help to define the state-of-the-art in the diagnosis of liver diseases. A specific aim of the workshop is to provide practical suggestions on how to manage the diagnostic work-up of liver diseases in the daily practice.

18th Annual Meeting of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging
The concept of creating a European Society to promote education and research in the specialty of thoracic imaging emerged from a small group of European chest radiologists who met together in Grenoble in 1992. These people defined the objectives of such an organisation and the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) was officially founded in 1993 in Luxembourg at the occasion of the founding meeting presided by Robert Dondelinger.
