Intensive course on imaging rheumatic diseases — hands-on, interdisciplinary and interactive.
April 24th, 2026 | 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
We are delighted to announce the upcoming Rheuma Day, led by Prof. Kay-Geert Hermann. This year, in keeping with our usual rotation, the congress will be held in English.
Experienced speakers will provide insights into new developments in rheumatologic imaging. Practical cases, both simple and complex, will be available to all participants using the BerlinCaseViewer app and discussed live with the experts, on-site and online. Since rheumatic diseases do not stop at the joints, this year’s program goes beyond classic arthritis imaging and includes dedicated lectures on vasculitis and Erdheim–Chester disease to broaden the spectrum and connect joint, vascular, and systemic manifestations.
New this year is an extensive pre-conference package, so we don’t have to spend valuable congress time on basic content. Participants receive three hours of video lessons on the fundamentals of rheumatologic imaging and a curated collection of 15 core cases, accessible from four weeks before until eight weeks after the event.
