Our Next Virtual Meeting:
Electro-Magnetic Tissue Properties Study Group Virtual Meeting
Deep Learning for EMTP & EPT Guidelines
Registration is FREE for members, US$50.00 for non-members.
Moderators: Mauro Costagli, Ph.D., Stefano Mandija, Ph.D. & Hongjiang Wei, Ph.D.
This one-hour virtual meeting presents an overview of current deep learning reconstruction methods in the field of magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography (MR-EPT) and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). It also aims at presenting the most recent guidelines on MR-EPT acquisitions, phantom preparation, and standardization of reporting, following the recent MR-EPT reconstruction challenge. Finally, it gives the opportunity to inform the study group about ongoing and new initiatives as well as to new candidates for the open positions within the EMTP study group committee to present themselves.

Advancing MRS Together: Joint Academic–Industry Open-Source Solutions for Acquisition and Reconstruction
Registration is FREE for members, US$50.00 for non-members.
Moderators: Georg Oeltzschner, Ph.D. & Lijing Xin, Ph.D.
Open-source acquisition and in-line reconstruction for MRS remain challenging due to vendor-specific sequence programming and reconstruction environments. These limitations complicate cross-platform implementation and maintenance of sequences, hinder large-scale multi-vendor studies, and reduce reproducibility. Recently, open-source pulse-sequence programming frameworks such as Pulseq and gammaSTAR have begun to address these barriers. Furthermore, vendors have created interfaces intended to streamline custom containerized reconstruction pipelines.
In this virtual meeting, we will discuss current open-source solutions across major scanner vendors and highlight features of two open-sequence platforms, along with user experiences. Join us to learn about the latest solutions from both industry and academia aimed at accelerating collaboration, standardization, and innovation in MRS.

Renal MRI Study Group
Probing Renal Microstructure and Metabolism: Quantifying Vascular, Tubular, and Parenchymal Volumes
Registration is FREE for members, US$50.00 for non-members.
Moderators: Octavia Bane, Ph.D., Suraj Serai, Ph.D., & Manuel Taso, Ph.D.
This virtual meeting, hosted by the Renal MRI Study Group, is dedicated to advanced applications of T2- and diffusion-weighted MRI to quantify microstructural compartments (tubular, vascular, and parenchymal), and of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI to explore the distribution of metabolites in the kidney. The speakers will present their own cutting-edge work and review the latest developments on these topics. The intended audience of the virtual meeting are MRI physicists and radiologist researchers. The aim of the meeting is to inspire the study group membership and the wider ISMRM community to use established techniques in novel ways to explore the unique patho-physiology of the kidney.
