Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the MS symposium 2015 of the Belgian Society of NeuroRadiology will be held on Saturday morning 31st of October 2015. Furthermore, we are delighted to confi rm that this meeting will be organized in collaboration with the Belgian Study Group for Multiple Sclerosis.

The landscape of Multiple Sclerosis and and CNS infl ammatory diseases has changed quite signifi cantly over the last years and more evolutions are expected to come in the near future. The role of magnetic resonance imaging techniques in understanding and managing multiple sclerosis has become indisputable. In the recent years, there have been considerable changes in the diagnostic criteria for MS and MRI has brought new insights on the predictability of disease progression of MS. Hence, plenty of reasons to put “Multiple Sclerosis and CNS infl ammatory diseases” on our agenda.

Best regards,  

Dr. Jean-Flory Luaba TSHIBANDA, MS Symposium Coordinator

Head of the neuro-imaging section in CHU Liège
