2nd International Neurosonology Training Course
The 2nd International Training Course in Neurosonology of the ESNCH will take place from the 8th to the 11th of September 2010 in Dubrovnik, a beautiful medieval Croatian city located on the southern Dalmatian coastline. Prof. Vida Demarin and her team have agreed to organize this important event, that will give an opportunity to participants to obtain the International Certification in Neurosonology.

Announcement of the 16th Meeting of the ESNCH
The 16th Meeting of the ESNCH will take place in Munich, Germany, 21st - 24th May 2011. Munich represents a special city for our Society because it was the site of the very first meeting of the ESNCH. The President of that meeting was Prof. Klingelhöfer, currently our webmaster, while the scientific secretary of the meeting was Prof. Eva Bartels, who will this time be the Conference Chairperson. Prof. Bartels will present the conference site and topics during the 15th Meeting of the ESNCH in Madrid.
Welcome to the 16th Meeting
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 16th Meeting of the European Society of Neurosonology and Cerebral Hemodynamics in Munich.
Many of you will remember the first meeting of the ESNCH in Munich in 1996, and which became the cornerstone for further successful cooperation in developing new ultrasonographic diagnostics and even for new therapeutic techniques in neurology. The subsequent annual European meetings have become a popular platform for scientific exchange for all who are interested in neurosonology – not only in Europe, but also worldwide. We are pleased to again have the opportunity to continue this successful tradition in Munich in 2011.
This meeting will provide updated information about research findings on normal and pathological cerebral hemodynamics as well as in all medical fields related to neurosonology, highlighting their relevance to the clinician. Additionally, basic and advanced tutorials on Doppler- and duplex ultrasonography of cerebral vessels will be held. For those who like to test their sonographic knowledge, the examination for the “International Certification for Neurosonology” will be offered during the meeting.
Finally, we hope that in addition to participating in the conference you will also take some time off to enjoy the atmosphere of the beautiful city of Munich. You can explore the historic center and discover the famous beer gardens, fairy-tale castles, and other cultural and historical sights. The month of May is often the most pleasant time of year for visiting Bavaria
We are looking forward to meeting you in Munich.
