3rd Quantitative Cardiovascular Imaging Meeting:
Standardisation of Quantitative Cardiovascular Imaging Techniques
About
What the 3rd QCI Meeting on 6. September 2024 is about:
Our Concept
An event dedicated to quantitative cardiovascular imaging techniques. We bring together clinical experts, researchers and technology developers to discuss and explore the latest advances and challenges in these fields.
Our Topics
The focus is on standardization as a means to improve the quality and applicability of imaging techniques as well as image acquisition, reconstruction and analysis and AI. Explore the developments and best practices.
Our Technologies
We will cover various imaging technologies, including CT, MR, SPECT and PET. Our speakers will discuss the application of these technologies in clinical practice as well as the integration of AI algorithms for accurate and efficient image analysis.
