Dear colleagues,

This year’s edition of the annual BSR meeting will definitely be a special one. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to offer a virtual-only meeting.

The program will consist of a fascinating mix of lectures on abdominal imaging and of course COVID-19 imaging and its practical implications.

I am happy to take the opportunity to thank Professor Raymond Oyen, president of the Scientific Council, and Drs. Anne-Sophie Vanhoenacker and Flavien Grandjean, presidents of the Young Radiologist Section, and all others involved in the organization of this Annual Meeting.

Since the pandemic, paradigms for continuing education and scientific gatherings are subjected to a disruptive trend, which only started. The organization of a virtual meeting is a “maiden trip” for us, but with the newly installed board, the YRS, and the managing committee we dispose of a young and energetic crew, in which I firmly believe.

We have worked hard!

Therefore, I wish you an interesting and pleasant BSR Annual Meeting 2020!

Warm regards,

Dr. Piet Vanhoenacker

BSR President
