Spinal Cord MRI Workshop@UCL
Two days workshop in London at University College London. As in other editions, the general aim of this workshop is to bring together spinal cord MRI researchers and clinicians from around the world, discuss the technical issues and the new challenges to overcome over the next years related to acquisition and processing of data and come up with collaborative solutions.
- Registration (Closed)
- Fees: Free! But please register because we have limited space.
