I am pleased to invite you to the 7th Annual Denis Melançon Neuroradiology Conference which will be held on October 16, 2014 in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital – The Neuro (3801 University Street).

This annual lectureship was established to honour Dr. Melançon for his dedication to patient care and his commitment to training the next generation of neuroradiologists. Friends and colleagues of Dr. Melançon, medical professionals, students and others are welcome to attend this event. The focus this year will be on the ‘The Orbit’ with presentations by experts from The Neuro and McGill University beginning at 1:00 pm. Our guest speaker this year will be Dr. Laurie A. Loevner, Professor of Radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania who will give the keynote talk entitled “ Orbital Tumours and Patterns of Spreading “. The Neuro’s Neuroradiology Department will host a contest to provide the opportunity for clinicians and scientists to gather and share new ideas, present the latest research and network with peers. The successful entrants / participants of this contest will contribute to the morning session of the Denis Melançon Neuroradiology Conference. The content of the morning talks will be based on submitted abstracts in the field of neuroscience.
