Exact date still to be determined.
For those who are interested, we organize a 3-day radiomics and LIFEx training session in April/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.
This year, we are opening the morning lectures to 50 virtual seats. Please let us know if you are interested (lectures +/- practical sessions). Practical sessions will be available for on-site attendees only.
