COURSE DETAILS

 

Dear Colleagues:

            We are pleased to invite you to participate in the
4th Annual Course and Workshop on software-aided Standardized Ophthalmic Echography.
This year the course is offered at the Augen-Beleg-Klinik Prof. Hasenfratz - Krankenhaus der Barmherzigen Brueder in Regensburg, Germany.

            The purpose of this course and workshop is to inform participants both at the beginning and the advanced levels about the method
of Standardized Echography, the most advanced and useful ultrasonographic method in ophthalmology. This will be achieved through lectures,
patient demonstrations and examinations, DVD movies and discussions. Special emphasis will be placed on revolutionary new software
which transforms Standardized Echography into a much easier, faster and still more reliable and precise diagnostic and biometric method
and allows for automated diagnoses and measurements.

                                  We will be pleased if you decide to participate in the Regensburg Course.
With kind regards,                                                                                                                                                    Course Faculty
