Overview & Program
Workshop Overview
The overall goal is to catalyze and facilitate the clinical translation of perfusion MRI.
Perfusion MRI has experienced significant growth as a research field in recent years and is increasingly finding clinical applications. The general theme of the workshop will be about perfusion as an indicator of organ health and function. We will showcase research illustrating how perfusion imaging can be used to better understand disease pathology, monitor treatment response, and promote biomarker discovery.
In this workshop, we aim to disseminate cutting-edge research on perfusion MRI and other related methods. We aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas, techniques, and data, and to foster community development in an increasingly important scientific area through collaboration and networking. We aim to encourage dialogue between academic investigators and industrial, pharmaceutical, and regulatory partners.
We also aim to reach consensus on the acquisition, processing, analysis, and interpretation of perfusion MRI, given the new developments and availability of different techniques. These efforts will facilitate the standardization for the acquisition and analysis of perfusion MRI.
Target Audience
Engineers, scientists, and clinicians interested in perfusion MRI techniques and applications from acquisition to processing strategies.
