About ICIS
The International Cancer Imaging Society exists to meet the important challenges of advancing imaging in the multidisciplinary management of cancer.
We promote education in oncological imaging and stimulate research in the study of human tumour behaviour, bringing together radiologists with an interest in oncological imaging for the exchange of ideas, and to organise scientific meetings, multicentre research studies and postgraduate courses within the field.
Cancer Imaging Journal
Impact Factor 3.016
Cancer Imaging is the official journal of ICIS, it is an open access, peer-reviewed journal with original articles as well as reviews and editorials. The journal encompasses CT, MRI, ultrasound, single photon and positron emission tomography, including multimodality imaging in all kinds of malignant tumours, plus new developments, techniques and innovations.
The whole course proved to cover a wide range of relevant topics to a very high standard. I would highly recommend it.
