Symposium & Hands-on sessions: Multimodal Imaging of Brain Tumors

Georges RODESCH  is the head of the diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology department at Hôpital FOCH in Suresnes, Paris. He is also consultant at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and at the Hôpital Neurologique de Linz (Wagner Jauregg Nerven Landes Krankenhaus). He is the past President of the World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology (WFITN). He leads and contributes to scientific works focusing genetic and biology of vascular malformations of the central nervous system.

Dr Savatovsky is neuroradiologist at Fondation Ophtalmologique Rothschild in Paris. He is involved in central nervous system and ENT imaging.
He is Professor of Radiology at Université Pierre et Marie Curie. He has a special interest in high resolution and advanced MR techniques applied to brain tumors at diagnosis and follow-up.

Raphaelle Souillard-Scemama is neuroradiologist at Hopital Sainte Anne in Paris, where she leads a research team involved in neurooncology. In the recent years, she gave a major contribution to developping contrast-enhanced Perfusion MR imaging, not only the technique, but also the post-processing methods, with a special interest in brain tumors.

Sotirios Bisdas is consultant at the Lysholm Department of Neuroradiology at National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, Reader at the University College London, and Professor of Radiology at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany. He was trained in Radiology and Neuroradiology at the Hannover Medical School, the University of Frankfurt, and the University of Tübingen in Germany. He completed a post-doctoral scholarship in Neuroradiology Research in the Medical University of South Carolina, USA and holds a MSc. degree in “Advanced Oncology” from the University of Ulm, Germany. His fields of expertise include functional CT and MR imaging in oncology of the brain as well as of head and neck.

Michaël Bruneau is Professor affiliated to Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), and program director in the department of Neurosurgery, at Erasme Hospital in Brussels. His past assignments include neurosurgery at Hôpital Lariboisière, in Paris and at Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire, in Geneva. He aims to integrate advanced MRI techniques in surgical planning and treatment of brain tumors and, more largely, of resectable brain lesions.

Sofie Van Cauter is neuroradiologist, with a special interest in neuro- and ENT radiology, at Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg in Genk, Belgium. She invested herself in many scientific works in neuroimaging and presented an awarded PhD thesis entitled “Advanced MRI in the workup of gliomas” at KU/UZ Leuven. She currently aims to integrate advanced MRI and CT techniques in the daily clinical workflow of a large-hospital practice, with applications to neuro-oncology and stroke imaging.
