Radiology societies tell EU Parliament: Integrate cardiovascular imaging across entire care pathway

At an EU Parliament event, ESR & EANM called for cardiovascular imaging to be integrated across the entire care pathway—from prevention to monitoring—to enable earlier diagnosis, avoid unnecessary procedures, and support precision medicine.

• The event launched new policy briefings aligned with the EU Safe Hearts Plan, emphasizing prevention and early diagnosis as central pillars.
• Imaging helps distinguish patients with similar symptoms but different diseases, guiding tailored treatment and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.
• Combining anatomical (CT) and functional (nuclear) imaging provides a precision medicine approach by assessing both structure and biological activity.
