UW presenters were everywhere at the 2015 annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine,
from big-ticket educational conferences to electronic posters and everything in between.
With nearly 70 entries between the Departments of Radiology and Medical Physics, the Metro Toronto Convention Center was practically overrun with Badgers.
