About the Conference

The ISNVD 2027 Conference will be a 2.5-day, single-track international scientific meeting bringing together clinicians, researchers, engineers, physicists and other experts. The programme will explore neurovascular disease, neurofluid and glymphatic systems, advanced MRI and vascular imaging, endovascular intervention and related clinical applications.

Partnership with Politecnico di Milano, Italy

Politecnico di Milano is one of Italy's leading universities in science and engineering. As part of this partnership, a half-day scientific session will be entirely dedicated to POLIMI research, exploring new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies and their applications from a technical, engineering, methodological and quantitative perspective.

Scientific Topics

  • Stroke Imaging
  • Vessel Wall Imaging
  • Updates in Stroke Prevention and Treatment
  • Dementia and Neurodegenerative Diseases
  • Endovascular Interventions
  • Migraine and Stroke Mimics
  • Clinical Consequences of Jugular Obstructions
  • Cerebral Venous and Glymphatic Drainage
  • Advanced MRI and Quantitative Imaging
