Join us at the SIGN 2026 Conference for an exciting and collaborative exploration of the latest advances in neurointerventions!
We are delighted to announce the Call for Abstracts for the 6th Conference of SIGN 2026 (Society for Image-Guided Neurointerventions), a highly interdisciplinary event bringing together prominent contributors from a wide range of fields crucial to advancing neurointerventions, including clinical medicine, basic science, engineering and computing.
Our goal is to break down silos and transcend boundaries that often separate us in our respective fields. Although the conference has a neurointerventional focus, we welcome submissions and attendance from clinicians and scientists across all related disciplines. Neurointerventions encompass a broad spectrum, including molecular aspects of modulation and modification of the central nervous system in physiological and pathological states.
