Knowing can change everything.
This EU Screening Week, we’re sharing the voices of patients who know first-hand why early detection matters.
🫀 Miloš Nikolić reminds us that knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar is a simple first step — and that timely imaging can help reveal what those numbers may mean for your heart.
🔎 Christel Put’s experience shows why looking closely matters. When her first cardiac scan appeared almost normal, her radiologist asked for a repeat examination — revealing something the first scan had almost missed.
🎀 And for Evelyn Steinthaler, screening is personal. As someone affected by breast cancer, she knows how important it is to take an active approach to your health and not wait for symptoms to appear.
Their stories share one powerful message:
Don’t wait for your body to tell you something is wrong. Know your numbers. Know your risks. Get screened when screening is recommended.
Throughout EU Screening Week, the ESR is highlighting the role of radiology in prevention and early detection — from ❤️ cardiovascular disease and 🎀 breast cancer to 🫁 lung cancer and 💙 prostate cancer.
📚 We’ve also created resources to help patients better understand screening and medical imaging, including image-based patient posters, patient podcast episodes, screening information and more.
