In February 2019, the COMP Winter School will extend its traditional themes of quality
and safety to the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With increasing availability of MRI facilities and growing use of the technology, it is important to consider issues of quality and safety in MR imaging. The Winter School's objectives will
be to
:
- help participants expand their knowledge in these areas,
- promote MRI safety,
- encourage high quality MR imaging, and
- discuss how to improve MR imaging in a multi-disciplinary setting.
Time will be set aside for stimulating discussion on these themes, touching on advances in the field and best practices in all aspects of MRI.
Open to all MRI Professionals
Winter School is a collegial multi-professional learning environment where delegates learn from the experts and from each other. The program, organized in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) and the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), features content from experts in patient care, MR safety, imaging systems, image quality, and advanced applications.
Attendance is open to all professionals
and trainees working in this area - physicists, radiation oncologists, technologists, radiologists,
students, postdocs, residents and others!
Join us at the 2019 Winter School, or encourage a colleague to attend and report back to your centre, the session recordings are also included in the registration fee.
