About this session

BSMS is excited to welcome Prof Andrew Webb, Director, C.J.Gorter MRI Center at Leiden University Medical Center, to Sussex for an in-person talk about his ground-breaking research in radical new MRI design.

In his talk, Prof Webb will describe the low field MRI systems built in his lab, and the flexible approach they apply in their design: that of designing simple, low cost systems that answer specific needs, rather than a "one-size-fits-all" system. 

This new design offers radical new opportunities in sustainable MRI design to increase accessibility in developing countries and general healthcare.

Hosted by Professor Itamar Ronen, CISC Academic Director and Chair in Medical Physics at BSMS, registration will begin promptly at 3pm, ahead of Prof Webb's talk at 3.30pm.

Following the talk, guests are welcome to stay for light refreshments from 5pm-6.30pm.
