SoCal High-Low (Hi-Lo) Field MR Imaging Workshop
October 12, 2019
Hosted by the USC Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute
Join us for our first Annual MR Imaging Workshop
The Southern California (SoCal) High Low (Hi-Lo) Field Workshop is an annual workshop that will help researchers maximize the unique resources and research programs on the ultra high-field (UHF) 7T Terra system at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute at the Keck School of Medicine and the high performance low field (HPLF) ~0.5T system at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. The goal is to engage the research and clinical imaging communities of Southern California, build a user base and stimulate new ideas.
