Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of our Committee, we would like to cordially invite you to the First International Neuroradiology and Neuroanatomy Conference, organised by the Medical University of Gdansk and the Polish Radiological Society, which will be held from 12^th – 14^th April 2018. The principle aim of this conference is a multidisciplinary fusion of current knowledge and awareness of brain structure and function with the diagnostic possibilities available through advanced medical imaging in different brain diseases.

The conference will be in Polish and English.

Our purpose is to introduce participants to, and familiarise them with the latest clinical and experimental achievements in brain imaging, especially in the field of neurodegenerative diseases/disorders, brain tumours, cavernous sinus lesions and strokes.

We will impart our experience in endovascular stoke treatments, and will give you the possibility to present your knowledge and the results of your scientific work. This invitation is not only extended to esteemed Professors, but also to young scientists, who are invited to present their work in the form of posters and short presentations. The conference will comprise a plenary session, workshops and short scientific presentations.

The workshops will deal with the neuroanatomical knowledge needed to facilitate a diagnostic process in difficult clinical cases. Workshops will be conducted by anatomists, neurologists and radiologists. During these workshops, we will learn how to read different MRI brain scans, to interpret the data and to understand why the specific lesions give their neurological symptoms. Knowing such clinical symptoms will enable a better knowledge of where to find lesions in the brain.

The conference will take place in Charlotta Valley, a tranquil coastal resort which is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is close to beautiful Baltic beaches of Ustka, in the Gdańsk region of Poland.

As the organisers of this conference, we dedicate ourselves to providing fruitful scientific and clinical knowledge to you. In addition to this, we endeavour to provide a pleasant location in which you can relax and soak up the atmosphere.

We hope that after the lectures and workshops, the members of the conference will make the most of these peaceful surroundings and enjoy the first days of Spring in this idyllic location.

For those of you that will be travelling from abroad, we will organise transport from Lech Walesa Airport in Gdansk to Charlotta Valley.

We sincerely hope that you accept our invitation, and look forward to you joining us in Charlotta Valley in April!
