[BIC-announce] Workshop: "PET from A to Z"

[Alexey Kostikov, Dr]

Dear BIC members and friends:

It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the 1st edition of the "PET from A to Z" Comprehensive Workshop, which will take place at the BIC May 30 – June 2 2016. This event is inspired by the success of the annual MEG at McGill training sessions and will be a part of the BIC training programs. We have a total of four very distinctive days: two days of lectures, and the other two more interactive days which include facility tours and hands-on trainings:
Day 1. Review of the PET basics, available PET tracers and signal detection, highlighted by the keynote presentation by Dr. Peter Herscovitch, Head of the PET Department at the NIH Clinical Centre.
Day 2. Application of PET in three major fields of neuroscience: stroke, psychiatry and neurodegenerative diseases.
Day 3. Practical aspects of PET and interactive tours through radiochemistry and PET imaging facilities: meet the cyclotron and lay down in the scanner.
Day 4. Hands-on training in reconstruction and analysis of PET scans and pharmacokinetic modeling.

Program and registration: https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/training-events/training-programs/pet-comprehensive-training

Please hurry up; the deadline for registration is May 10, 2016. Please note that the registration for days 3 and 4 are limited to 12 seats. Day 1 will conclude with a wine and cheese with the speakers event.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Neuro.
