NCITA Annual Conference Update
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to postpone the NCITA Annual Conference on Cancer Imaging, scheduled for 5th May 2020 at King’s College London. You are still more than welcome to register on our Eventbrite page and we hope to announce a rescheduled date for the conference as soon as possible.
Sessions will explore QA/QC of imaging technology, introduce some of the latest research in cancer imaging and discuss the use and storage of patient data.
