The European Course in Neuroradiology (ECNR) goes Diagnostic and Interventional.
The European Course in Neuroradiology (ECNR) was founded in 1983 under the aegis of the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) that was created in 1969. Besides the major aim of educating young doctors to become neuroradiologists, this course was also necessary to adhere as much as possible to the European regulations for academic education programs with the precise aim of being recognized as a (sub-)speciality within the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). It was meant to be a dynamic initiative similar to the existing European Course of Neurosurgery (ECNS), thus creating a true European Neuroradiological profile.
During the past years, our speciality has undergone many changes, the most obvious of which being that Neuroradiology is nowadays widely accepted as both a diagnostic and interventional speciality. Guidelines for training and practice were established and they were specifically targeted upon the above mentioned dual aspects of Neuroradiology.
