ESGAR 2017 - European Society of Abdominal Radiology

ESGAR 2017

Twenty-seven years after the first ESGAR (ESGR) Meeting in Crete in 1990, Greece is proud to host ESGAR 2017 in Athens! Two unforgettable ESGAR meetings followed in 1996 and 2006, again in Crete under the meeting presidency of Prof. Nicholas Gourtsoyiannis. ESGAR 2017 returning to Greece underlines the long standing and strong ties between ESGAR and our country.

Year by year the ESGAR Annual Meeting has become more popular, more comprehensive, more innovative and more influential, while maintaining the two core characteristics of ESGAR: scientific quality and family atmosphere. The upcoming meeting in Athens builds on the success of previous ones, providing high quality education, demonstrating developments and innovations in abdominal diagnostic and interventional radiology, presenting research activities and facilitating exchange of experience and ideas.
