Case-based Diagnosis Training

ECR 2026 Case-Based Diagnosis Training session - Interlude

ECR 2026 will see the return of the popular session for general radiologists and residents at the end of their training looking for a simple update on subjects outside of their usual field.

Be a part of the interlude

Once again, you have the opportunity to participate in the Case-Based Diagnosis Training session by submitting your most intriguing cases to be featured in the interlude, which sports a unique theme for each ECR. The theme of this year’s interlude is “Mythology in Radiology”. Submit your cases that creatively connect ancient mythological concepts and terms to insightful radiological diagnoses. To find out more about this year’s theme and how to submit your cases, please refer to the information provided below.

The selected cases will take part in a lucky draw after the interlude! The lucky winner will receive a Premium Education Package (PEP) subscription.

Test your knowledge

Additionally, the session will offer an interactive way to test your knowledge in a range of subspecialty areas. Before and after the Interlude, you can try to solve clinical cases from ten different fields in radiology, where specialists then help to highlight typical characteristics and differential diagnostic entities.

Come and join us, and maybe you will win the award for your excellent work-up!

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Mythology in Radiology

The ECR 2026 theme, “Rays of Knowledge”, provides ample opportunity to connect ancient mythology with modern radiology.

By using Athena’s sharp intelligence, we can pay attention to details and seek truth without getting fooled by initially more striking, but misleading findings at first glance.

The owl’s eye uses its wisdom to integrate information from several modalities to synthesise the correct diagnosis.

Figure 2: Intratendinous gout tophus.

And finally, there is a plethora of imaging signs based on old Greek and Latin terms that facilitate recognition of pathognomonic signs, like Caput Medusae, Achilles’ tendon, cyclops, Hippocampus atrophy, Sirenomelie or labyrinth.

Submit your cases that best exemplify these connections between mythology and radiology, demonstrating your diagnostic skills in illuminating the unseen, using the template below, to [email protected] by the extended deadline of January 16, 2026.

Submission is now closed. 

We have collected your best cases and will feature them in the interlude presentation of our case-based diagnosis session. Before and after, you can try to solve clinical cases from ten different fields in radiology, where specialists then help to highlight typical characteristics and differential diagnostic entities.

*Please note that the chosen submitted cases will be presented by the interlude speaker and not by the submitters.
