Vienna, Monday, 3 March 2025.
Canon Medical Academy is extending its educational programs post-ECR 2025, continuing to offer workshops and online courses to advance healthcare professionals’ skills in medical imaging.

Comprehensive Educational Infrastructure

The Canon Medical Academy operates from a state-of-the-art facility in Amstelveen, Netherlands, spanning 8,600 m² with 17 training rooms, including 13 equipped with Canon’s complete modality systems [1]. This extensive infrastructure supports the Academy’s mission of bridging the gap between clinical excellence and education, established since its founding in 2020 [1].

ECR 2025 Highlights and Ongoing Initiatives

During ECR 2025, which concluded on March 1, the Academy hosted over 25 hands-on workshops led by world-renowned experts [6]. A notable highlight was the satellite symposium ‘Advancements in CT: From Artificial Intelligence to Photon Counting,’ featuring distinguished speakers including Dr. Russel Bull and Prof. Martine Remy-Jardin [2]. The Academy’s commitment extends beyond the congress, with specialized training programs scheduled throughout March 2025, covering areas such as stroke care, cardiology, and lung cancer screening [4].

Upcoming Educational Opportunities

The Academy has announced several specialized courses for March 2025, including the NIHR BRC Imaging Meeting on March 25 and the BSGI Gynaecology and Early Pregnancy Ultrasound Scan Course on March 28 [5]. These programs are complemented by comprehensive online resources, including live webinars, on-demand sessions, and an extensive digital library of clinical resources [1]. Healthcare professionals can access training across multiple modalities, from advanced visualization to the latest developments in artificial intelligence applications [4].

Expert Perspectives and Future Direction

Prof. Ioannis Sechopoulos of Radboudumc emphasizes the Academy’s role in providing hands-on experience with current and emerging imaging technologies [1]. Prof. Maija Radziņa from Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital notes that the Academy serves as ‘the best hub to meet experts who are writing the papers and guidelines’ [1]. The Academy’s ongoing commitment to education aligns with Canon Medical’s century-long ‘Made for Life’ philosophy, focusing on enhancing patient care through advanced medical imaging expertise [7].
