Virtual Meetings

This virtual meeting of the ISMRM Low-Field MRI Study Group will focus on opportunities and barriers to low-field MRI clinical adoption. The goal is to help our membership understand how low-field MRI can make a tangible impact in clinical care. Through four short, clinician-led presentations (7 minutes each)—spanning brain, musculoskeletal, breast, and low-resource settings—participants will hear real-world experiences, success stories, and lessons learned about implementation and challenges. A 30-minute moderated discussion will follow, highlighting the most critical barriers and priorities for future research. The session aims to bridge the gap between technical innovation and clinical translation, fostering a community-wide understanding of how low-field MRI can be adopted to improve patient care and expand access to imaging.

This webinar highlights the use of perfusion imaging in clinical studies, encompassing past experiences, technical considerations, and currently ongoing clinical trials with special focus on potential future clinical trials using ASL.

This session will focus on success stories in the clinical translation of interventional MRI. Max Seidensticker, M.D., and R. Jason Stafford, Ph.D., will share their experiences translating research into clinical practice. The talks will highlight how MR guidance and monitoring facilitate procedures such as biopsies, thermal ablation, and brachytherapy, with examples from interventions in the brain, breast, liver, kidney, and prostate. Learn how advanced MR techniques improve precision, safety, and outcomes, and gain practical insights from real-world clinical workflows. Join us to explore innovations shaping the future of MR-guided therapies.

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.
