LINNC 2008, for Live Interventional Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery Course organized by Prof Jacques Moret, a world renowed Interventional Neuroradiologist. Very interesting 3 days course which include presentation and hot discussion. The most interesting discussion is regarding the EVA3S trials (http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00190398) which was presented by the researcher himself. It was very hot and interesting and had to be stopped by Prof Moret himself. For the uninitiated, EVA3S really change the perception of carotid stenting practice in the whole world especially France.
What i really like is the way the transmitted live transmission of angiography suite from Fondation Adolphe De Rothschild Hospital and neurosurgery operating theatre from Helsinki. It was very clear with only a very minimal delay in sound transmission from Helsinki. From what i know, the live neurosurgery from Helsinki was transmitted via satellite. And the way the transmit the images on the screen, interchanging from two to one screen was fantastic. I think they are using Mac for this.
For 2009, the course will be combined with ACINR (www.ics08.org) which will be held in Paris. For 2010, it will also be combined with ACINR and will be held in Istanbul. Looking forward for the Istanbul course in 2010.
