Welcome to the British & Irish Chapter of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. The creation of the British Chapter was formally approved by the Board of Trustees of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine on 19 September 1994. Our main activity is the organisation of scientific meetings. In January 2009 a New Initiative Fund was created, please see the information below.
