The annual Derek Harwood-Nash Lecture in Neuroradiology was established in
1999 to commemorate the tremendous contribution of Dr. Harwood-Nash in laying
the foundation of Pediatric Neuroradiolology, through his pioneering scientific work
and his outstanding teaching at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of
Toronto as well as worldwide.

5.00 – 5-30
Linda S. de Vries is a Professor in Neonatal Neurology at the
Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, University Medical Center in
Utrecht, the Netherlands. She trained as a paediatrician and
subsequently specialised in neonatology and paediatric
neurology. At present she is working in the department of
Neonatology. Dr. DeVries has an interest in early prediction of neurodevelopmental
outcome, using an integrated approach. For this purpose neuroimaging, cranial
ultrasound as well as MRI, and neurophysiology, using both aEEG and evoked
potentials, are used. She has been involved in many studies, correlating
neuroimaging with long-term follow-up of preterm and full-term infants, following the
children until at least 5 years of age. She has an interest in brain plasticity and is
also involved in a functional MRI study in children with perinatal stroke.
