The EIBIR Summer School on Imaging in Neurology is a multi-disciplinary summer school, uniting about 50 young researchers coming from a variety of backgrounds. The high scientific level and the relaxed atmosphere invite a close and fruitful interaction between everybody present, both participants and staff.

TOPICS:
Imaging modalities (MR, PET, CT), quantitative image analysis, (open-source) tools for image analysis, neuro- and population imaging and image analysis in clinical practice, validation and open- source databases, atlases, applications in the clinic, small animals and clinical trials.

LECTURERS (confirmed so far):

Julia Schnabel (University of Oxford)

TARGET GROUP:
The School is mainly addressed to second- and third-year students pursuing their graduate studies in this field within PhD programs of biomedical engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, physics, medical physics, and medicine. We therefore assume that participants have a basic understanding of biomedical imaging, both in terms of acquisition and image analysis and interpretation.
