So the SCR is not only a place to listen and learn but also a platform for personal exchange between friends, colleagues and companies.

To which audience does the SCR address?

The SCR is interesting for radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists and radiographers in public and private hospitals as well as in private practice. The Congress also turns to residents, medical students as well as students for radiography/nuclear medicine.
