Special Announcement

With profound sadness, we share news of the death of Zoltán Patay, MD, PhD, chair of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Read more about him and his work in the St. Jude announcement. The Pediatric Biomedical Imaging Initiative (PBII) was part of his vision for the department and for the world of pediatric radiology and he was looking forward to this Neuro-oncologic Imaging Education Course, as in-person meetings are again taking place. We are committed to continuing the PBII Initiatives in his memory.
