Abstract:
The European Society of MusculoSkeletal Radiology (ESSR), is a scientific body which rapidly expands over the last two decades. Such a large society needs involvement of young, ambitious and skilled radiologists who will be able to face the challenges of the rapidly induced changes in Medical Imaging and Intervention. A leadership program is a means to offer chances of developing skills that young radiologists may need in order to move forward within the ESSR body and contribute to its further growth. The authors present herein the m.avatar project which was performed under the auspices of ESSR.

Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
