Imaging of Infection Webinar Series

This webinar series will present a summary of what we know of COVID-19 and the need for imaging of infectious diseases. Our first webinar will present information on COVID-19: epidemiology, high-risk groups, basic pathogenesis, prevention, and potential treatments. Subsequent webinars will delve into how imaging can be applied to infectious diseases. Through this series, the Imaging of Infection Interest Group (IOI-IG) of the WMIS will highlight the importance and need for imaging of infectious diseases.
