Over the past 13 years Medis has been active in the R&D and commercialization of our state-of-the-art analytical software packages QMass MR & QFlow, plus new Apps such as QMap and QStrain, for the quantitative analysis of cardiovascular MR data sets. It has been our experience that dedicated two-day’s courses with hands-on training by the senior researchers and developers of these software packages is very helpful for new users, as well as for established users who need a refresher.
Cardiologists, radiologists, fellows, technicians and physicists who currently are, or will be working with the QMass MR and QFlow analytical software packages and need to familiarize themselves with all the ins and outs of these systems, with the new Apps and with the clinical applications.

The Medis office is located in Leiden, Rembrandt’s hometown. It’s a cultural hotspot and a thriving university town. Within short travelling distances of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague, Leiden offers the best of both worlds: a smaller town with its own character and attractions, yet with easy access to the major cities. It’s also only 8 km from the beach (Katwijk aan zee).
Schiphol Airport has its own train station and from there trains depart every 15 minutes for destination Rotterdam.
This train also stops at Leiden Central Station.
From Schiphol it’s easy to reach Leiden using highway A4 / A44 Amsterdam – The Hague.
If necessary we can provide a parking space at our office. Note: limited spaces available.
