Prague 7th International Workshop on Lung Health
16-18 January 2020

Within the wide offer of congresses in the field of Pneumology, the International Workshop on Lung Health is characterised by being a medium sized conference focused on small group learning with a real interaction with the World Experts at close proximity.

Daring wisely has been one of the values of this dynamic forum and to continue this tradition and following the suggestions received from last edition attendees, we will dedicate the 7th International Workshop on Lung Health to Rethinking Lung Diseases: towards tailored management, to embrace the most important pathologies of the respiratory field, under the perspective of personalized medicine and patient care.

Large space and time will be dedicated to Pros and Cons, Yearly Reviews on specific topics and cases analysis as the “Clinical and Imaging Ground Round”, where participants will be challenged on solving controversial or complex real-life situations.

The conference will take place in the Mathematical Institute in the centre of Oxford, on the grounds of the old Radcliffe Infirmary, the site of the initial use of penicillin, and now known as the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter. The first Mathematical Institute, was completed in 1620, and the current in 2013, a beautiful building linking historic and modern Oxford. The Institute is within walking distance of the Oxford colleges, the historic buildings of Oxford, and the city train station.

The scientific programme encompasses state-of-the-art scientific presentations, and will focus on all aspects of Imaging of Respiratory Disease, with lectures on the latest advances in CT, MRI, and interventional radiology, together with refresher lectures, and multidisciplinary scientific presentations. Among the topics covered will be, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer screening and pulmonary nodules, molecular imaging and the role of artificial intelligence in thoracic imaging.

Lectures on chest X-ray reading, lung nodule management and high resolution CT will take place the day before the main meeting.

We invite you to our 37th Annual Scientific Meeting taking place in Barcelona, Spain. 
This year’s congress experience will focus on the theme of Convergence in MRI. Convergence science reflects the gathering together of different disciplines to work together, across boundaries and silos in order to accelerate scientific knowledge. This concept has been reflected in the name and the mission of ESMRMB since its inception, incorporating MR, medicine and biology. We celebrate this cross-cutting mission and present a programme that reflects convergence science in MRI.
