Dear collegues and friends!

I would like to cordially invite you to Brno, Czech Republic for a Workshop on intraoperative ultrasound, which will be presented by the most prestigious speakers in this field. The workshop will take place at the Simulation Centre  of the Masaryk University in University Campus Bohunice in Brno on 10^th June 2025. During the course you will receive the most up-to-date information in the use of perioperative ultrasound available. The venue is the most modern part of the Masaryk University Medical School. Brno itself is a pleasant city with a vibrant student life and many social and cultural attractions.

prof. Martin Smrčka, MD, Ph.D.

PROGRAMME

As Intra-operative ultrasonography technology has advanced rapidly over the last 2 decades, there has been a tremendous increase of awareness and adoption of it into routine neurosurgical practice, especially in brain and spine tumor surgery. In this practical training course, an international team of distinguished neurosurgeons offers fellow neurosurgeons their insight and expertise in the use of IoUS in their daily practice through lectures, simulation and hands-on sessions.
