VBIC held its 2013 annual networking meeting on 28 November 2013. Attended by over 80 people from Victoria and the rest of Australia, the focus was on Advanced Brain imaging as a satellite meeting to the Australian Cognitive Neuroscience Conference.

The program included speakers from across the four VBIC nodes using different imaging equipment to visualise brain activity, connectivity and structures.

The first part of the event was devoted to VBIC developments including our recently released MR safety guidelines, MR patient screening forms and MR training for non-radiographers.

The second part of the event covered advances in brain imaging taking place at the various VBIC nodes – Diffusion MRI, Susceptibility Imaging, MRI connectomics and MEG-MRI analysis.

You can also see photos from the event on another page of our website and also via Facebook.

Below we have posted some of the presentations. You can have your say about the event via our survey (open until 23 Dec 2013).
