We are happy to announce the 11th MR in RT Symposium in New York City.

The fast advancement of technology and the rapid integration of MRI into radiotherapy applications is one of the most exciting and challenging developments in the field of radiation oncology. With this scientific symposium, we aim not only to bring together specialists from various relevant fields, but also to stimulate a discussion on the scientific development and consolidation of this field. We are looking forward to seeing you in New York City!
