Program (preliminary)
Apart from theoretical lectures, the course will contain live demonstrations and practical workshops. In practical ultrasound workshops, healthy individuals and LVV patients will be examined under supervision of tutors; in practical workshops on MRI, PET and CT, participants will work under supervision on tablets to analyze images. Histopathology will be taught in a theoretical and practical session. Ultrasound machines will be requested (for free) from ultrasound companies.
