Diagnostic Imaging in Oncology and Neurology

Dear Colleagues, Dear Scientists,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to our Hybrid Scientific Meeting “Diagnostic Imaging in Oncology and Neurology” on December 10th, 2021.

This Hybrid Scientific Event aims at continuing GE’s Scientific Sessions of 2021, by refreshing the Topics of Oncology, Neurology and Neuroimaging where new developments are involved.

The goal of this Scientific Event is to improve the knowledge, confidence, and performance of learners into the diagnostic evaluation of patients with Prostate and Breast cancer, of patients with Parkinson and Alzheimer Disease and on how Neuroradiology may contribute to a clear and correct diagnosis, using a voting system for the Challenging Cases presented.

We look forward to welcoming you in our Hybrid Scientific Meeting
