The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is a mid-sized, apolitical non-profit organization based in Vienna, Austria, and is the largest radiology society in the world. Founded in December 2005 through the merger of the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and the European Association of Radiology (EAR), it aims to coordinate the scientific, educational, and professional activities of radiology across Europe. The ESR advances radiology in healthcare through education, research, collaboration, and publications, and it organizes the annual European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, a major international radiology meeting. Its community includes radiology professionals, radiographers, physicists, industry representatives, and media across European countries, focusing on knowledge sharing and professional development. In 2026 the ESR announced the launch of a spin-off journal, European Radiology Abdomen, reflecting the society's ongoing expansion of scholarly outlets.
