About The Imaging Methods and Analysis in Geriatrics (IMAGe) Journal Club at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center meets once a month to discuss current journal articles related to the imaging of late-life neuropsychiatric disorders. [top] Time and Place We meet every 4th Tuesday at 2 PM in the Radiology conference room in Children’s Hospital (CHP-3940). The meetings take place after the 1:30 IMAGe group administrative meeting.
