Bay Area Symposium on Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) hosted by the Department of Neuroradiology at Stanford, will introduce advances in diagnostic imaging enabling preclinical research with a focus to translate MPI into the clinic. Two MPI hotbeds stretching across the bay will join forces to share their latest work in MPI cancer detection, theranostics, stroke and inflammation.
