The organizations first signed an agreement in 2017, with the collaboration becoming the first of its kind between the IAEA and an international medical imaging society, IAEA said. As a result, the IAEA and the ESR have cooperated successfully during the past six years on capacity building in low- and middle-income countries, educational activities, and measures to improve quality and safety in medical imaging.

The extension provides a solid foundation for further collaborations, IAEA said.
