This session celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Clinical Trials in Radiology (CTiR) programme at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR). Renowned speakers will explain how they successfully planned, conducted and published their CTiR at ECR and in high-impact journals. This will help the radiology community by providing 'how to do it' role model information for future CTiRs. Two distinguished discussants will put the two exemplary studies into perspective by explaining how they have helped to shape clinical practice. In addition, the audience will learn about the research and educational importance of CTiR as well as its implications for value-based radiology and will have the opportunity to interact with the faculty in the discussion section of this session.
