ECR 2018 Abstract Submission for Scientific Papers, Electronic Posters (EPOS) and Clinical Trials in Radiology will be possible until October 10. Submit your abstract now!

Are you able to squeeze your whole scientific thesis (MD or PhD) into a three minutes presentation? If your answer is “yes”, “probably” or even “maybe”, then look out for the My Thesis in 3 Minutes (MyT3) option during the abstract submission process and be sure to tick the ‘agree’ box!

MyT3 will be launched at ECR 2018 and is dedicated to residents and young radiologists who would like to present their thesis results as first authors in a very entertaining and fast-paced scientific session.
