Seeing what you treat - MR Imaging in fast forward
The event celebrates the contributions of three pioneers in the fields of imaging and MR-guided therapies, Professors Jan Lagendijk, Peter Luijten and Chrit Moonen, as well as the inaugural lecture of Nico van den Berg. During this two-day symposium we will take a journey into not-so-distant future, that we at the UMC Utrecht together with our partners will embark on.
