“Radiology Connectome”
The Japanese Society of Radiological Technology The 82nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology Conference President ： Hidetaka Hayashi

As the Congress President of the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Radiological Technology (JSRT), I am pleased to invite you to JRC2026, which will be held from April 16–19, 2026, at PACIFICO Yokohama, Japan.

The meeting is organized jointly with the 85th Annual Meeting of the Japan Radiological Society (JRS), the 131st Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Medical Physics (JSMP), and the International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging (ITEM 2026).

This year, the congress will start half a day earlier than usual. The scientific program will begin on the morning of April 16, with sessions starting around 9:30 a.m., followed by the Joint Opening Ceremony and Welcome Reception in the evening. The congress will conclude around noon on April 19 with the Joint Closing Ceremony and Farewell Reception.

The theme of JRC2026 is “Radiology Connectome.” This theme highlights the many connections radiology creates—across clinical practice, healthcare teams, scientific innovation, and the global community.

For our international participants, we are delighted to announce that the 5th International Conference on Radiological Practice and Technology (ICRPT) will take place in parallel with JRC2026. We warmly encourage you to join the ICRPT sessions, engage in lively discussions, and build new collaborations with colleagues from around the world.

We look forward to welcoming you to Yokohama and to JRC2026—an event where science, collaboration, and friendship come together.
