DRAFT PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

INDICATIVE SESSION THEMES

The scientific program topics include quantitative musculoskeletal imaging and ultrasound from the nanoscale to the whole body, from mouse to humans, from cells and tissue matrix to whole organs, multimodal imaging, advanced data-driven and physiology-basedcomputational modelling, analysis techniques in musculoskeletal research and clinical routine to improve diagnosis, therapy control and therapeutic endpoint decisions.
