CARS 2009
Many new and promising developments in radiology and surgery are presented by outstanding speakers at Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery CARS 2009, from June 23-27, in Berlin. A record number of special sessions and key presentations make CARS 2009 a unique congress for displaying how the practice of medicine is impacted by modern information and communication technology.
5 days of CARS - barely enough time for so much items on the agenda to take part in!
In addition to the traditional core events of CARS’s affiliated societies:
- International Society for Computer-aided Surgery (ISCAS) - EuroPACS - CURAC (German Society for Computer- and Robot-assisted Surgery), CAR (Computer-aided Radiology) - CAD (Computer-aided Diagnosis) and - CMI (Computed Maxillofacial Imaging Congress)
