ESGAR - European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology

ESGAR - European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology Its members have a special interest in the imaging and treatment of patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and associated abdominal organs.

The European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) is a not-for-profit, educational and scientific organisation founded by radiologists working in close association with other allied specialists. The European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) is a not-for-profit, educational and scientific organisation founded by radiologists working in close associa

tion with gastroenterologists, hepatologists, abdominal surgeons, pathologists, and other allied specialists. The aims of the Society are:
- To advance the study of gastrointestinal and abdominal imaging and intervention, in Europe, by encouraging radiological and clinical excellence, teaching, research and further education in the subspecialty,
- To encourage the harmonious interchange and integration of all European radiologists with an interest in this field,
- To create links with abdominal radiologists from other continents and with other Societies in the fields of abdominal surgery, gastroenterology, hepatology and other allied specialties. In order to fulfil the aims of the Society, ESGAR organises several educational and scientific events throughout Europe. The annual meeting and Postgraduate course is the most important event of the Society’s calendar, it is held in a different European country each year. The Postgraduate Course covers a specific topic each year but all annual meetings are devoted to the main theme of “Abdominal Imaging and Intervention”. In addition several peripatetic workshops with a high teacher to student ratio to various topics are organised throughout Europe.

🎉 Congratulations to Prof. Regina Beets-Tan on receiving the UEG - United European Gastroenterology Lifetime Achievement Award 2026!

A true pioneer in oncological imaging and artificial intelligence, Prof. Beets-Tan has transformed the field of gastrointestinal radiology through her groundbreaking work on the clinical implementation of MRI for re**al cancer staging, helping to shape international standards of care.

Beyond her scientific achievements, she has been a passionate advocate for multidisciplinary collaboration, strengthening the role of imaging within digestive health and fostering closer partnerships between radiologists and clinicians across Europe.

This prestigious recognition by the broad European gastrointestinal field represented in UEG is not only a well-deserved honour for Prof. Beets-Tan, but also an important milestone for the radiology community as a whole, highlighting the vital contribution of imaging to patient care and medical innovation.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement! 👏

A 34-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department with symptoms of acute pyelonephritis. Abdominal ultrasound performed during the diagnostic work-up incidentally revealed a heterogeneous hepatic mass measuring approximately 5 cm in the right lobe. Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI were subsequently performed for further characterization of the lesion.

This case has been kindly prepared by Dr. Francesco Matteini from “Paolo Giaccone” University Hospital, Palermo, Italy.

17/07/2026

A 60-year-old male with no significant past medical history presented with post-prandial colicky abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting. The patient was afebrile with normal inflammatory markers and elevated venous lactate. Physical examination demonstrated mild abdominal tenderness without signs of peritonism. Given the post-prandial nature of the pain, mesenteric ischemia was suspected and the patient was referred for a CT of the abdomen, which demonstrated perivascular fat stranding surrounding the coeliac axis. Subsequent CT angiography and FDG-PET/CT were performed for further evaluation.

This case has been kindly prepared by Dr. Francesca Borg and Dr. Bianca Montebello from Mater Dei Hospital, Malta.

A 60-year-old male smoker with a recent positive f***l occult blood test underwent CT colonography following an incomplete optical colonoscopy due to inadequate colonic distension and bowel cleansing. The patient underwent reduced bowel preparation with f***l tagging. The initial CT acquisition was performed with the patient in the prone position.

This case has been kindly prepared by Dr. Ciro Busiello from “Sapienza, University of Rome” in Italy.
