Medical Engineering: International Interdisciplinary Workshop on Flow and Motion

An international interdisciplinary workshop on flow and motion quantification by MRI in neuro and cardiovascular applications will be held in Zürich, Switzerland July 11-13, 2004.

This event is a joint effort of the Institute of Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Zürich, and the Institute for Biomedical Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institue of Technology (ETH Zürich).

The workshop is meant to foster communication amongst practitioners and to facilitate education of newcomers to the closely related fields of magnetic resonance imaging, computational fluid dynamics, and clinical vascular medicine. A preliminary programme can be found at: http://www.mr.ethz.ch/flowmotion04/program.html.
