European Society of Radiology and GE Healthcare renew their strategic partnership for ECR 2022

Vienna, Austria – February 21, 2022 - The European Society of Radiology (ESR) and GE Healthcare announce today the renewal of their partnership for the online European Congress of Radiology (ECR Overture) on March 2-6, 2022, and onsite ECR 2022 on July 13-17 in Vienna, Austria. The partnership includes a complete 2,000m² new area and joint sessions.

The Covid-19 crisis has put healthcare systems under immense pressure and exposed some of their most gaping problems. At the same time, it has also demonstrated the critical need to reimagine how healthcare is delivered and has accelerated the pace of change.

In cooperation with ESR, GE Healthcare’s participation at ECR 2022 will be centered around Building a World that Works. Specifically, GE Healthcare will focus on three strategic pillars: Digital & Artificial Intelligence, Patient Experience and Sustainability & Resilience.

“Our partnership with GE Healthcare is the perfect example of Building Bridges, which will be a central theme of ECR 2022” said Prof. Regina Beets-Tan, ESR President. “At the congress we will learn that radiologists must redefine their approach to patient care, adopting a multidisciplinary approach and building strong cooperative ties with all partners in the healthcare continuum, including those in the industry, to deliver the best results for the patient. Partnerships such as this one with GE Healthcare are a critical part of how we grow as a medical profession”.

“We are thrilled to be renewing our partnership with ESR for the ECR 2022 congresses. It has been a challenging year for most and now more than ever, radiologists need innovative solutions and smart technology to help tackle the challenges that we are facing. We are proud to partner with ESR to help bring the solutions to light,” said Rob Walton, President & CEO, GE Healthcare EMEA.
