ISMRM & ISMRT Virtual Meetings
🕗 Registration closes the day before a given meeting at 19:00 UTC and is limited to ISMRM & ISMRT members unless otherwise noted.
Our Next Virtual Meeting:
MR in Radiation Therapy Study Group
Hit the Target: Methods, Phantoms & Guidelines Quality Assurance of MRI for MRI-Guided Radiotherapy
Registration is FREE for members, US$50.00 for non-members.
Moderators: Zhaoyang Fan, Ph.D. & Astrid van Lier, Ph.D.
Hitting the target is the foremost aim of MRI-guided radiotherapy. But does one make sure that a target (most often a tumor) observed on an MRI scan is actually hit? For example, image warping due to gradient and static magnetic field imperfections will lead to geographical misses if those are not fully uncorrected for. Next, tumor motion, e.g. due to respiration, might lead to image blurring or other artifacts preventing accurate definition of the target volume if not taken into account.
The two lectures of this virtual meeting will dive into the origin of these errors and methods to quantify and correct them. Carri Glide-Hurst, Ph.D., DABR, FAAPM, will talk about the methods and phantoms she developed with her lab to benchmark MRI-guided radiotherapy workflows. Martin Fast, Ph.D., will present methods and recommendations for the safe clinical use of 4D-MRI. In the realm of radiotherapy, 4D-MRI is used to reduce image artifacts in case of respiratory motion and enables quantification of respiratory motion amplitudes.

Study Group Virtual Meetings:
A platform for our 34 study groups, established to foster interaction among members with a common interest in topical and active areas of MR. Topics for discussion come from the study groups with discussion and debate promoted by expert moderators, with contributions from the virtual audience. Registration is open to all ISMRM & ISMRT members, with priority given to members of the respective Study Group.
Journal Club Virtual Meetings:
A platform for a dynamic, international, cross-cutting journal club moderated by experts in the field. The papers for discussion come from the Society’s two journals with live access to the authors. Discussion and debate are promoted by expert moderators, with contributions from the virtual audience. Registration is open to all ISMRM & ISMRT members.
