MR Education Series

Initially hosted by the British & Irish Chapter, the MR educational series is now a joint venture between ISMRM Chapters across Europe. We host a weekly series of talks throughout the year, on topics ranging from basic MRI physics through to neuroradiology (and everything in between!).

The schedule and access to recordings of the talks are available here on the British & Irish Chapter website, but please do sign up to the British & Irish chapter JISC list for the latest information. https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=BCISMRM
