ESSR Sports Imaging Course and 4th Rostock Summer School on Musculoskeletal Cross Sectional Imaging 2021


Thank you very much!

Dear participants, colleagues and friends,

I am very happy to have welcomed you to this year's ESSR Sports Imaging Course and 4th International Rostock Summer School 2021! This year’s hybrid event was very well evaluated and appreciated by 104 participants from 17 different countries (including India, Peru, Iran, and Australia).

In addition to all speakers and chairmen, I would like to thank Siemens, Bayer, GE, Visus, Bracco and Fujifilm for their financial support. Furthermore, I would like to express my great thanks to the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR), the German Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (DGMSR), the German Radiological Society (DRG) and the Medical Association of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for their continued support and for the accreditation of this course.

Finally, I would like to thank the local organizing committee for their perfect support of this conference. Without their many hours of tireless support and help, such a new version of this series of events would not have been possible in these difficult times.

Next year, I would like to cordially invite you to the ESSR annual scientific meeting taking place in Rostock-Hohe Düne from June 9th till 11th. Hopefully, we can then meet again face to face.

With my very best regards and many greetings from the Baltic Sea Coast,

Prof. Dr. Marc-André Weber
