30 Jun 17. Edinburgh Imaging Symposium
The Edinburgh Imaging Opening Symposium, took place on 30 June 2017 in the QMRI, University of Edinburgh.
Three keynote speakers
We heard from Prof Chris Boesch, Zurich in our metabolic imaging session; from Prof Zahi Fayad, New York, in our cardiovascular disease session & Prof Steve Williams, London, in our neurological disease session.
Inspiring talks from members
Our 12 Edinburgh Imaging members engaged us all with inspiring presentations of their innovative research, on a range of imaging related projects, including retinal imaging, optical imaging & using MRI for the evaluation of the healthy & unhealthy pregnant mother.
World class facilities
Guests had the opportunity to hear from Prof Joanna Wardlaw & Prof Edwin van Beek, about the world class imaging facilities Edinburgh has to offer.
