INTENSIVE PROGRAM
“PROBES AND MODELS FOR IMAGING DISEASES AND THERAPY”
Learning objectives / The purpose of this theoretical and practical integrated course is to offer an in-depth training on how different imaging modalities, coupled with tailored imaging probes able to recognize specific pathologic markers, allow the visualization and quantification of disease evolution and the evaluation of therapy response.
