Announcement 

There have been major advances in neuro-imaging and brain monitoring in high risk newborns. To share knowledge, the neonatal neurology group in Utrecht has the pleasure to welcome you for the fourth time to a two day MRI course ‘from basics to bedside’. We have the privilege to do this in collaboration with several European experts in the field. There is also an opportunity to present your own clinical work. The two day course will be held in the University Medical Center Utrecht. We will be delighted to see you in Utrecht in April 2019.
