MAGNIMS Meeting in Prague
The MAGNIMS Meeting took place from October 17 to 18, 2024, in Prague. Dr. Haider presented a talk titled “MOGAD Follow-up: Why We Need Guidelines - The Neuroradiological Perspective,” where he emphasized the importance of unified guidelines for the follow-up of MOGAD patients from a neuroradiological perspective.
Success at the ISUOG Congress in Budapest!
The team of fetal neuroradiology at the Department of Neuro and Musculoskeletal Radiology wins TWO "Best Oral Presentation Awards" in the categories of Fetal Neuroimaging, awarded to Amit Haboosheh, and Fetal Imaging in Syndromes, awarded to Hui Shi, at the internationally renowned ISUOG Congress in Budapest.
Grant Received for ME/CFS Research Project
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Lukas Haider and his team have received a grant of €96,550.00 for their project “Investigating Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism Dysfunction as a Pathomechanism of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.”
The project aims to investigate hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a therapeutic approach to alleviate hypoxia symptoms in ME/CFS patients. We look forward to the results and their potential impact on the treatment of ME/CFS.

Details and Information about the Symposium
EAN Podcast: Weekly Episodes on Neurology
A new episode of the podcast is released every week, covering current topics in neurology. The episodes are also conveniently available on Spotify.
In the current episode, moderator Raphaela Wurm and guest Dr. Wolfgang Marik discuss key neuroimaging techniques for the spine. They focus on when to use CT, MRI, myelography, and spinal arteriography. They provide valuable insights into selecting the right technology and address common challenges that can be avoided with proper indications.
Stay tuned and expand your knowledge!
