About the course

The Functional Neurovascular Anatomy course is comprehensive and didactic review of the embryology and vascular anatomy of the brain, head, neck and spine.

The course will have lectures and interactive workshops including 3D images from cadaveric dissections and on workstations with 3D DSA images

The course has been created for neuroradiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons with particular interest in vascular diseases.

The course may be interesting to physicians in training to become INR specialists / neurointerventionist as well as senior neurointerventionists who wish to refresh their knowledge in functional neurovascular anatomy.

The maximum number of participants is 50.

An application has been made to the EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event.
