Imagine Imaging aims to build collaborations between the Ontario photonics industry and researchers at C4 institutions. This year our theme is biomedical imaging technologies.

University researchers will share their recent research finding and discuss their vision for transforming imaging research into biomedical technologies. As well, an industry panel will envisage the future of biomedical imaging technologies, examining what research-based technologies hold value for industry.
