1^st International MRE Workshop & 1^st BIOQIC Day

 

The MRE workshop and BIOQIC Day took place from 27^th to 29^th of September, 2017, at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany. Its focus was on biophysical foundations, clinical needs, research promises and technical solutions in quantitative medical imaging and MR elastography. The workshop provided an overview of current developements in these research areas and addressed the clinical relevance of emerging imaging techniques. The workshop hosted three outstanding keynote sessions by Georg Duda, Kristian Franze and Paul Janmey as well many short oral presentations and poster presentations.
