For those who are interested, we organize a 3-day radiomics and LIFEx training session on 18-20 May 2026 in Paris, France.
Space is limited to 20 participants on site as we will have a lot of hand-on sessions, so if you are willing to participate, please register early.
The training includes morning lectures and hand-on sessions. The morning lectures are open to 50 virtual attendees, while the hand-on sessions will be reserved for participants attending in person. Please let us know if you are interested (lectures +/- practical sessions).
