– Bracco will present an immersive experience at its booth to educate congress attendees on the importance of corporate commitment to sustainability and how its MR imaging portfolio contributes to the progress of sustainable radiology.

Bracco will reinforce its commitment to deepening expertise within the radiology community through presentations, a symposium, and open sessions.

MILAN, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bracco, a world leader in diagnostic imaging, announced today that it will showcase an innovative and immersive experience that brings the concept of sustainability to life and expands on “Planet Radiology” – a campaign launched by the European Society of Radiology (ESR), a nonprofit professional organization dedicated to strengthening and unifying European radiology, at the European Congress of Radiology, taking place in Vienna from February 26 to March 2.

In response to the ECR’s campaign, Bracco has curated an experience for all congress attendees (Foyer E, Level 0, ACV) titled “Our Journey to the Future Continues Today, Together, for a Sustainable Tomorrow.” The experience will provide a roadmap to sustainability in medical imaging and highlight technological advances that are transforming medical outcomes and improving patient lives. Specifically, attendees will encounter:

“At Bracco, sustainability is integral to our everyday lifework because we believe that a healthy planet and society create the foundation for healthy people,” said Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, CEO of Bracco Imaging. “Our vision extends to every part of what we do – from developing an innovative gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) that uses less gadolinium compared to other currently approved macrocyclic GBCAs in their standard recommended doses, to recovering iodinated contrast media, to creating sustainable packaging initiatives that eliminate tertiary cardboard.”

“At ECR 2025, we wish to inspire a more sustainable approach to medical imaging,” said Andrea Rockall, ECR 2025 President. “It is amazing to see other companies, like Bracco, championing and amplifying this message through a variety of initiatives, many of which we look forward to hearing more about at the congress.”

Bracco will also host a series of educational sessions in collaboration with the ESR to advance the field of radiology, including a symposium, open-forum sessions, and an educational event. These sessions will further underline Bracco’s commitment to sustainability, with expert-led discussions on the role of artificial intelligence in sustainability, optimizing dosing protocols and contrast management, integrating sustainable practices into daily radiology workflows, and the importance of empowering the next generation of radiologists.
