Presentation
In recent years, technological developments have opened new frontiers in diagnostic imaging. In the rapidly growing field of minimally invasive treatment for neurological disorders, 2D projection imaging remains the standard of care for many procedures.
Recent advances in intraoperative diagnostic flat-panel imaging, particularly the advent of high-resolution, time-resolved 3D imaging, post-treatment of perfusion acquisitions, fusion imaging with other modalities and live overlays have provided physicians with complex yet valuable additional information. As with any new technology, effective acquisition, detection, and interpretation of the findings require experience and a solid evidence-based foundation. However, many of the techniques presented are not yet widely adopted. Implementing new techniques without a strong evidence-based foundation may lead to misinterpretation and slow the adoption of an otherwise beneficial modality. To prevent this and in order to gain momentum for this new development, the scientific goal of the congress is to bring together leading researchers in this emerging field, train physicians to adopt and utilize the new imaging modality, and outline future research in collaboration with industry partners.
With speakers from diverse international backgrounds, the workshop offers a rich exchange of ideas, blending technical expertise with innovative thematic insights and direct clinical application. The conference is structured around the four core subjects: Technical Basics, Stroke, Shunting Lesion and a researchers and industry roundtable. Each core subject is lead by renowned experts in the field and will provide detailed insights into each pathology covered.
Specific sessions include directly applicable information on e.g. how to setup your angiography suite for direct-to-angio imaging, how to install and utilize perfusion flat-panel imaging during or after mechanical thrombectomy, how to benefit from fusion imaging to understand shunting lesions and causes of hemorrhage as well as a session dedicated to Flat-Panel-CT for the detection of CSF-venous fistulas.
Besides training in perioperative imaging, the congress envisaged to create a stimulating environment to lance scientific collaboration and clinical projects. With representative from industry, there will also be an opportunity to discuss directly the implementation of the covered techniques at your center.

The event will take place in the city centre at the Hotel de Ville of Tours located in Square Jean-Jaures and very near the main train station. This elegant building was designed in the early 20th century by Victor Laloux, the architect of the Gare d'Orsay in Paris (now the Musée d'Orsay). Its monumental stairs, paintings and sculptures make it a recommended place to visit. Participants will also have the opportunity to discover French cuisine and Loire Valley wines during an evening social.
