The 25th Annual Scientific Meeting of our society will be held June 13- 16, 2018, in Amsterdam. The congress venue will be the Krasnapolski hotel, which is located in the very heart of the city.

The purpose of this meeting is to refresh your knowledge and get updated on the latest advances in modern musculoskeletal radiology focussed on the theme “Muscle and Nerve”. I am grateful a faculty of world renowned speakers has accepted the invitation to participate.

You will have the opportunity to get started with MSK ultrasound of the shoulder or increase your skills in the dedicated workshop on nerves or attend the ultrasound masterclass. The program includes refresher courses as well as scientific sessions and electronic posters on all aspects of musculoskeletal imaging. The multidisciplinary approach of our profession is highlighted by the contribution of clinicians in a webinar with rheumatologists, the EULAR, a workshop on the early detection of spondyloarthritis as well as a combined session on “What the clinician needs to know”.

In a technology session and a lunch meeting on low dose and whole body CT, you will be updated in the dynamic field of MSK radiology. Finally you can test your skills in the famous quiz with prizes at the end of the meeting.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all colleagues on the ESSR committees and subcommittees, as well as the local and international board members, for their support in organising the meeting. Congress participants will be welcomed on Friday at the welcome reception, and the gala dinner in museum Hermitage on Saturday will round off the annual meeting. Needless to say the lively city of Amsterdam will highlight your stay.

This ESSR meeting will advance the international exchange of knowledge, ideas and experience by bringing together physicians and professional staff from all over the world.
