1st International Symposium on Neuroimaging in Parkinson's Disease
(Innsbruck, Austria - February 2-3, 2007)
Dear MDS member,
More than 20 years after the introduction of fluorodopa PET scanning as an imaging modality for nigrostriatal terminal dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease tremendous advances have occurred in the field of PD imaging - both related to clinical research as well to the use of neuroimaging in clinical routine practice. These exiting developments have prompted us to convene the first international symposium dedicated to this fast moving field.
The 1st International Symposium on Neuroimaging in Parkinson’s Disease will be held from February 2 - 3, 2007 in Innsbruck, Austria under the auspices of The Movement Disorder Society. The faculty of international leading experts will discuss the potential of different imaging modalities and techniques based on nuclear medicine, MR as well as ultrasound technology as they relate to research, clinical diagnoses, monitoring of disease progression and monitoring treatment interventions of patients with parkinsonism.
Investigators are invited to contribute to the program by submitting abstracts - both on basic research and clinical application of functional and structural imaging modalities in parkinsonism for guided poster sessions. Abstracts will be published on CD-ROM and made available to all MDS members.
For further information regarding the location, symposium program, registration form, abstract submission guidelines and form and hotel accommodations, please view the following link:
