III NeurotechEU School on Preclinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy
The Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) is pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the School on Preclinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy. It will take place from October 21-23, 2026, at the UMH campus in Sant Joan d’Alacant (Spain).
The 3rd edition of the School on Preclinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy will provide a comprehensive and focused overview of preclinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Spectroscopy, emphasizing translational neuroimaging. The program covers the entire spectrum, from the technical aspects of MRI hardware and the fundamental principles of image formation to the biological origins of different imaging contrasts. Participants will gain a solid understanding of widely used techniques such as relaxometry, diffusion-based imaging, and functional MRI, while exploring their biological underpinnings and key applications in biomedical and neuroscientific research. A combination of theoretical and hands-on sessions will provide practical experience in image preprocessing, data acquisition, and analysis, including the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) applications for both data collection and analysis, highlighting its transformative role in modern neuroimaging.
