ECR 2027 Vienna: European Congress of Radiology Guide & List
By Ilyas Kerbal,
The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is one of the world’s largest radiology meetings. It takes place every spring at the Austria Center Vienna, and ECR 2027 runs from 3 to 7 March 2027. Around 20,000 participants and 300 exhibitors attend (estimate).
The exhibition hosts imaging-equipment makers such as Siemens Healthineers, GE HealthCare, Philips and Canon, contrast-media companies and a large AI-vendor area. For imaging-IT, AI and medtech companies, ECR is the main European meeting point with radiology leaders.

The myESR app
The ECR and myESR app provides the programme, sessions and on-demand content. It is a clinical tool and doesn’t help vendors identify hospital buyers.
