MediSens provides a forum for discussions between the clinical and technical community, improving imaging technologies for cancer diagnosis and treatment. The meeting gives clinicians a chance to share their perspectives and find solutions from the medical physics and engineering community. Our speakers will present on a range of sensor technologies and development requirements for high quality, reliable imaging.
