2 ABSTRACTS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED FOR POSTER PRESENTATION AT THE ISMRM

Two abstracts have been accepted for poster presentation at the upcoming Annual Meeting of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), from May 30-June 5 2015 in Toronto Canada.
Both posters discuss the quality assurance of MRI data using phantoms that have been developed at UZA for CENTER-TBI This shows the importance of the phantom measurements and will hopefully lead to acceptance of diffusion tensor imaging as a biomarker in TBI.
