Jointly, the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) and the European Society of Molecular Imaging (ESMI) have developed five educational modules.

Posted on by WMIS Web Admin Posted in News and Announcements

Different parts of the modules were presented at the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) 2012 in Dublin, Ireland, WMIC 2013 in Savannah, Georgia, USA and at the WMIC 2014 in Seoul, Korea.

Access to the educational modules is free for members of the WMIS as well as to registered attendees of the WMIC meetings in 2012, 2013 and/or 2014.

If you are a current WMIS member or attended the WMIC in 2012, 2013 or 2014 please click here to receive your password for full access to the educational modules.
