ESMRMB 2012

Scientific Meeting - Lisbon, Portugal

The Local Organising Committee is very honoured that Lisbon has been selected as the host city for the 29th Annual Scientific Meeting of the ESMRMB.

Lisbon is a very old city with a strong university tradition. It was here that the first Portuguese university was founded in 1290.

The first MRI scanner in Portugal was installed in Lisbon in 1987 and since then we have witnessed a growing expansion of MRI systems all over the country.

At the University of Lisbon, Egas Moniz became a Professor of Neurology and developed the technique of cerebral angiography, still used today in medical imaging. Unfortunately he did not receive his Nobel Prize for this technique but instead, for the controversial technique of prefrontal leucotomy.

The Preliminary Programme will be available in January 2012.
