Dear all
It is my pleasure, together with prof. Bilický and the organizing committee, to welcome you to Bratislava, capital city of Slovakia, to attend the Erasmus musculoskeletal MRI course that will take place from October 5 until October 9, 2009.
In keeping with the format of the Erasmus courses that have been organized throughout Europe since 1991, the Faculty offers you an interactive, comprehensive approach to MRI of musculoskeletal disease.
This 5 day course, consisting of a mixture of plenary lectures and small group interactive teaching sessions, will provide you an unique opportunity to learn and study with Europe´s leading teachers and most enthusiastic fellow students from all over Europe.
The course aims to improve your skills using MRI in the context of other imaging modalities. Course language is English and colleagues with basic knowledge of clinical MRI will benefit most.
Looking forward to welcome you next October 2009 in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Yours sincerely,
V. Belan
