In-vivo NMR course
Scope of the course
The aim of this course is to introduce PhD students, post-docs and other scientists in the principles of modern in vivo NMR imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) as applied to living systems in biomedical and biological research.
Registration
Registration costs are €350 for PhD students and post-docs, and €700 for medical physicists and other participants. Fees cover attendance to the lectures and practicals, as well as lunch and coffee/tea. Total number of participants is limited to 30. Registration: secr@isi.uu.nl
