Overview
We are pleased to announce the inaugural conference for biomedical imaging technology and translational science (BITTS).
The BITTS conference aims to bring together researchers working in the field of biomedical imaging using a variety of modalities—PET, MR, CT, optical, and ultrasound—and a wide range of organ and disease applications.
With the rising costs of international conferences, we intend to create an informative, collaborative, and science-focused conference that is accessible and affordable to researchers in the US, with a particular emphasis on the inclusion of students, post-docs, and other trainees as well as faculty, physicians, and scientists. The conference will feature plenary lectures, invited talks from senior researchers, and submitted oral and poster presentations.
