EUROPEAN FORUM FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH OF MUSCULOSKELETAL RADIOLOGY

European Course on Spine Radiology

 

European Course on Spine Radiology – 1st Cycle Module 2

Welcome

We have the honour and the pleasure to welcome you to participate to the next European Course on Spine Radiology – 1st Cycle Module 2.
This Advanced course is jointly organised between the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) and the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) and is intended to provide a jointly effort to a deeper knowledge of X-Ray and CT guided procedures to give radiologists a wide range of new possibilities in treating the spine, reducing the risk of side effects and complications in comparison to conventional “open surgery”.

 

Course Programme

Following a successful Module 1 course in January 2020, both our societies did work on another outstanding programme including most cutting-edge topics and a faculty of well-known speakers all around the globe.
All lectures will be virtually broadcasted.
