The spring 2025 courses have been modernized and made more practice-oriented. The content is now case-based and practice-oriented. New modules include the Masterclass Cardiac Imaging and the Masterclass Pancreas courses. Participants can book a full participation, day pass or certified individual courses to customize the content. From 2025, the DRG will be expanding its range of cardiac imaging courses. The classic Q1 and Q2 courses for cardiac CT and MRI will be offered by the DRG, while cooperation partners will conduct cross-modality master courses. From July 2025, participants will only have to earn 16 CME points per modality. 8 points come from the Q2 course, 8 from master course modules.
