Deutscher Röntgenkongress 2020 [ABGESAGT] in Leipzig

At the German X-Ray Congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress) everything revolves around X-rays and radiology. It takes place once a year and was founded in 1919. It stands for innovation, topicality and practical relevance. Every year, participants can expect many scientific lectures, workshops, refresher courses, intensive workshops as well as special events.

The 101st German Congress of X-rays 2020 will celebrate both the discovery of X-rays 125 years ago and the 175th birthday of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. Furthermore, the joint congress of DRG and ÖRG will take place for the 9th time. A core topic of this year's congress will be the basics and application of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in all areas of radiology. Megatrends in health care will also play a major role: Patient safety, radiation protection, patient education, process optimization, working according to guidelines, responsible handling of contrast media as well as staff management and qualification. The following topics will also play a major role in the congress focus "Emergency Radiology": polytrauma management, intensive care diagnostics, interdisciplinary diagnostics and therapy of the acute abdomen, craniocerebral trauma as well as heart attack and stroke. In addition, the Young Radiology Forum will support the congress with numerous formats of its own in order to promote a rejuvenation of the event.
