Celebrating 40 Years of Vision: The McConnell Brain Imaging Centre
Forty years ago, Dr. William Feindel had a groundbreaking vision to visualize the unseen pathology of the central nervous system, paving the way for enhanced care for patients with neurological conditions. This vision led to the establishment of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University.
