Session 1: Contribution of imaging in diagnosis
Session 2: Contribution of imaging in therapeutic follow-up and evaluation
Session 3: Emerging imaging technologies
Plenary lectures will be given by experts in the different scientific fields addressed by the workshop. A number of selected oral presentations given by young researchers will complete the different scientific sessions. This workshop aims at sharing scientific results and at facilitating exchanges between experienced and young researchers in a fast advancing field.
To stimulate intense discussions between young and senior scientists, the total attendance is limited to a maximum of 65 persons.
