For the first time at ECR 2021, there will be one abstract type. During the submission process, you will be able to choose your preferred presentation format:
All abstracts have to be submitted in English. Please make sure that your abstract is properly structured and checked for English spelling and grammar. By following all instructions, you are ensuring that our language and editing standards are met, thereby making your abstract reader friendly.

The abstract has to be submitted by the presenting author. The presenter will receive all notifications and is responsible for the poster upload and/or the oral presentation.
It is not allowed to submit the same abstract to more than one presentation format. The submission of duplicate abstracts will lead to the immediate rejection of the abstract(s) involved.
Case reports will not be accepted. We recommend submitting case reports to the ESR’s teaching case platform EURORAD at www.eurorad.org.
Decision notifications (acceptance or rejection, final presentation format) will be sent by email to the presenter in December 2020. Invitations for oral presentations must be confirmed by the presenter within the timeframe indicated in the notification letter.
During submission, abstract presenters can apply for one of the available support programmes: “Invest in the Youth” for radiologists in training and “Shape your Skills” for radiographers (radiological technologists).
