1st International workshop on (synchrotron-based) Cardiovascular X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging

Bart Bijnens (Barcelona MedTech at DTIC-UPF), Maja Cikes (University of Zagreb), Anne Bonnin (Paul Sherrer Institute) and Patricia Garcia Cañadilla (UCL) are organising the 1st International workshop on (synchrotron-based) Cardiovascular X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging taking place in Barcelona at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra on May 13th – 14th, 2019. All details can be found on www.x-pci.org

 This workshop is planned as a 2-day interactive event aimed at providing clinical, biomedical and engineering researchers with a comprehensive review of the current state of (synchrotron-based) X-ray Phase Contrast Imaging to reveal the micro-structure of cardiovascular tissues and whole organs with hereto unseen contrast and resolution.

 The workshop will comprise of review lectures by experts in the field, hands-on sessions for the participants and tutorials on off-line processing of real images acquired by the faculty members. 

 The workshop is aimed at cardiologists, basic cardiovascular scientist, and image-analysis researchers interested in quantifying and understanding the micro-structure of heart and vessels from whole organ to single myocyte. We also strongly encourage participants to bring a poster presenting their own research.
