23rd Zurich Course on Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology

Based on the success of combining diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology last August, they are pleased to announce the 23rd Zurich Course to be held August 31 to September 5, 2015 at the Department of Neuroradiology of the University Hospital of Zurich.

Since its inception in 1992, the primary educational goal of the Zurich Course has been to link neuroradiology with fundamental neuroanatomy, neurobiology and clinical manifestations of neurologic disease. Formal lectures and interactive case discussions are the educational format.

This year, the diagnostic part of the course will cover selected topics on fundamental and advanced clinical neuroimaging of the brain, including neuroanatomy, neurooncology, neuroimmunology and neurovascular disease with emphasis on hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke.

The interventional part of the course will cover almost the entire spectrum of endovascular interventional neuroradiology including acute ischemic stroke, intra- and extracranial atherosclerotic disease, vascular lesions of the head and neck, hypervascular skull base and intracranial tumors, dural arteriovenous fistulae, brain AVMs, spinal cord AVMs and intracranial aneurysms.
