APRIL 11th, 2015Milan, NH Milano 2

Welcome

It is an honor for us to welcome you to

1st San Raffaele OCT Forum.

It is our intention to make this congress an annual event, as long as

the OCT field keeps presenting interesting progresses, like in this past

years.

We want to announce our next event: April 9th, 2016.

We have included in the scientific program some of the best worldwide

experts of Imaging and we are sure that it will bring us original and

innovative contribution.

The major arguments at the present will be presented for discussion

with particular attention on our clinical interest in the applied

implications on practice.

We truly hope that, at the end of this day, you are satisfied and feel

it was worth attending. This would be the best way of knowing our

organization efforts were successful.

Welcome to Milan and enjoy our Forum,

Francesco Bandello, Rosario Brancato and Gabriel Coscas
