Overview
Since the first known 2D NMR images were acquired in 1971 by Paul Lauterbur, the field of MRI has expanded to multiple human organ systems and fundamentally changed clinical practice within a relatively short time. As members of the MR society, we are lucky to be amongst the pioneers involved in developing, implementing, and adopting novel MRI techniques in a sometimes skeptical clinical environment. This year's Junior Fellow Symposium focuses on translating MR techniques into clinical practice, with personal testimonies, trials, tribulations, and successes of physicians, physicists, scientists, and engineers involved in clinical translation. What does it take to push a new technique towards clinical adoption?

Target Audience
Engineers, physicists, scientists, engineers, and trainees interested in developing,
implementing, and clinically adopting new MRI techniques.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Identify common challenges in translating new MRI techniques into clinical practice;
- Recognize the teams (physicians, scientists, engineers, industry) involved in clinical translation; and
- Apply and adapt “lessons learned” from these experts to their practice.
13:45   Why Physicians Should Adopt New Neuro MRI Methods Kawin Setsompop
14:05   MR Techniques: From Engineering to Optimization for Clinical Practice Christopher Hess
14:25   Changing Clinical Practice: Cardiac MRI To Assess & Quantify Heart Disease Jeanette Schulz-Menger

Keywords: Cardiovascular: Cardiac, Cardiovascular: Myocardium, Cardiovascular: Hemodynamics

Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) is meanwhile used in clinical routine to diagnose different disease, but also to guide therapeutic decision making. In the Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology CMR plays an increasing role for the assessment of ischemic as well as non-ischemic heart diseases. Most of the clinical decisions are based on quantitative parameters describing the function and morphology of the heart as well as the myocardial tissue properties and hemodynamic parameter of the vessels. To provide reliable and meaningful results a quality assurance is mandatory.
14:45 Deploying Artificial Intelligence in a Radiology Workflow Florian Knoll

Keywords: Image acquisition: Machine learning

This talk will give an overview of the development of AI methods for MR image reconstruction. I will cover the collection of training data, model training and in particular the deployment in a clinical setting, which enables clinical validation studies.
15:05   Pushing the Frontiers of Quantitative MRI Towards Clinical Adoption of MR Fingerprinting Nicole Seiberlich
15:25   Panel Discussion
