Workshop on PET and MR Imaging
The The 1st International Workshop on PET and MR imaging is organized by Jagiellonian University in Krakow and will be held at the Marian Smoluchowski Institute of Physics on 3rd June 2017. The venue is located at The Campus of the 600th Anniversary of the Jagielonian University Revival. This event intends to bring together students and early stage researches interested in Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance imaging techniques development. The participants will go through the basic course of PET and MR physics as well as will get familiar with the every-day practice on the imaging techniques in medical and research units. The workshop will be also an occasion to present the own research related to bio-medical imaging related to PET and MR techniques, however, presentations of alternative and supplementary diagnostic methods are welcome what may support the knowledge and ideas transfer important in multimodal imaging development. The workshop will be also an occasion to learn about recent progress in PET and MR techniques through hands-on activities in the research laboratories at the Workshop host institution, where novel methods are being developed.

Submitted abstracts for the poster session will be reviewed by the Workshop Committee, and the Authors will receive a feedback until 25th May 2017, at the latest.Authors of the best submitted abstracts will be given an opportunity to introduce their results during short (10 min.) oral presentations before the poster session. Successful abstracts will be chosen by the referees during the review process and the Authors will be proposed the oral presentation in a separate communication.
Outstanding poster presentations will be awarded with attractive and valuable prizes and contribution to the conference proceedings published in "Acta Physica Polonica B". Author of the best poster will receive one year subscription of "Inżynier i Fizyk Medyczny" magazine as well as contribution to the "Polish Journal of Medical Physics and Engineering" founded by Polish Association of Medical Physics.
