Villa Monastero, Varenna, Italy September 23 – 25, 2025: full conference
Imaging has become a paradigmatic and irreplaceable investigation tool in many scientific fields. Besides, X-ray, neutron and nuclear medicine imaging, combined with advanced image reconstruction and analysis techniques, also exploiting artificial intelligence-based approaches, permit to obtain planar and 3D information on the inner morphological, chemical and functional characteristics of the samples, in fields like Medicine, Biology, Cultural Heritage and Astrophysics.
The workshop seeks to identify common approaches across different fields of research, techniques and scale lengths.
Topics that will be covered:
The Conference strongly encourages participation by young scientists.
The program will include invited oral presentations and posters.
