Montreal, Quebec, will be the site of an unprecedented gathering of over 1200 medical imaging and radiation therapy specialists, at the 2015 Joint Congress on Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, May 28-30, 2015. They have come from all points of the globe; the United States, the United Kingdom.

The congress theme, Collaborative Care – Imaging and Treatment, is reflected in an ambitious, multidisciplinary, bilingual scientific program.
