About the congress

The new EACVI 2023, onsite in Barcelona, will be the flagship congress on cardiovascular imaging, bringing together beginners and experts of all CVI techniques: echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance, nuclear cardiology and cardiac computed tomography.

The main theme of the congress is: ‘Be at the heart of multi-modality imaging.’

The event will be an exciting opportunity for all attendees to experience the cutting-edge of imaging and learn about the very latest, and upcoming, technologies. As an attendee you will be able to build bridges with other modality experts, deepen your knowledge of your own technique, and broaden your comprehension of multimodality imaging.

A multi-modality patient-centered track will be the focus of this congress. After EACVI 2023, you will have a better understanding of how information from different techniques can be combined to provide a more comprehensive picture. We are getting ready for the future – the future of the EACVI but also the improved future of our patients – and will map out how multi-modality imaging can be used from early diagnosis to patient management and outcomes.

During EACVI 2023, there will be sessions on multimodality guidelines and practical discussions on how to set up multi-modalities within imaging departments and hospitals. For each technique, there will be advanced sessions to expand your experience on modalities you are less familiar with. If you would like to take the first step in learning a new modality before attending the congress, the EACVI will offer level 1 certification from September, online and all year long. This certification will cover the basic knowledge in each imaging modality.

The Scientific Programme is being developed to appeal to junior imagers, experts, and everyone in between. By attending EACVI 2023 in Barcelona, you will also benefit from a fantastic networking experience with your peers. Get ready to learn and bring back home more knowledge, better skills and a recharged enthusiasm. Save the dates – 10-12 May 2023.

We look forward to welcoming you in person in Barcelona to this pioneering event on all cardiovascular imaging: EACVI 2023!
