The European Board of Radiology (EBR) has released dates for its European Diploma in Radiology (EDiR) exam in spring 2020.
The first EDiR exam will take place in conjunction with ECR 2020 on Tuesday, 10 March. Special free admission to ECR 2020 will be provided for applicants from countries that officially recognize EDiR and include it as part of their national training programs. These include Poland, the Netherlands, Turkey, Finland, Slovenia, and Croatia.
In addition, hospitals and department heads that wish to register their final-year residents for the EDiR exam will receive a 20% discount on the exam fee, as well as free ECR registration.
A second spring 2020 EDiR exam date has been added for Saturday, 4 April, in Cairo. A 200-euro discount is available to those who register by 15 October. Online applications are open at myebr.org.
Other 2020 exam dates in Turkey, Poland, France, Spain, and Sweden will be announced starting in January, according to EBR.
![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
