ECR 2026 Video Highlights

The 2026 edition of the European Congress of Radiology wrapped up last weekend, and the conference was full of breaking business and clinical news.

Artificial intelligence dominated the proceedings in Vienna, with researchers presenting the latest work in applying AI to breast and lung screening, neuroradiology, fracture detection, and other clinical use cases.

AI was also a hot story in the technical exhibits, with no fewer than three mergers/acquisitions announced during the show.

In this special edition of The Imaging Wire newsletter, we offer a recap of our ECR 2026 video interviews with thought leaders and imaging vendors from the exhibit floor. 

We hope you enjoy watching our ECR 2026 video coverage as much as we enjoyed producing it! 

Check out the ECR 2026 video links below or visit the Shows page on our website, and keep an eye out for our next Imaging Wire newsletter on Thursday.
