Hands-on Training 2: Practical Learning Experience

Held on April 27–28, this intensive training will focus on two key areas:

Neuroimaging and Diagnosis

Participants will explore cutting-edge imaging approaches for neurological assessment, alongside practical diagnostic workflows. Training will take place in small groups, ensuring close interaction with expert instructors and hands-on experience.

Cardiac Imaging and Quantitative Analysis

This module will introduce advanced cardiac imaging techniques, including a lecture by Prof. Joachim Lotz. Participants will gain experience in data interpretation and analysis through guided practical sessions in rotating groups.
