ENCITE Session on Visualisation of cell therapy meets clinical application held at ECR 2011 Conference in Vienna, Austria

Cutting-edge developments of novel cell therapies pointing to clinical applications will be presented.

Novel imaging tools are an absolute prerequisite for patients’ understanding of therapeutic effects. Three examples of visualisation show promising results.

Medical scientists, radiologists and all experts interested in these areas are welcome.
