Lost in Translation

Up for a debate as old as the ISMRM? The Lost in Translation: Neuroradiologists vs. Physicists session will be a thoughtful battle between radiologists asking physicists why they don’t design techniques that are clinically useful, and physicists asking radiologists why they don’t use their clever and excellent techniques.

Welcome and Opening

ISMRM President Dan Sodickson has led outstanding efforts forming the new Strategic Plan, highlighting our societies’ roles in a changing world. ESMRMB President Eric Achten offers updates on the European society. All at 5pm in the Plenary Hall.

Mansfield Lecture: Dr. Petra Huppi

Dr. Petra Huppi will present “How Early Life Events Shape Our Brains: An MRI Perspective” at 5:30 pm in the Plenary Hall. Sir Peter Mansfield’s seminal contributions have led to ongoing imaging acceleration that is allowing MRI to characterize the brain earlier and earlier in life. Dr. Huppi will discuss how MRI is helping our understanding of how events during key early periods in life affect our cognitive and emotional development. The understanding is leading to new ideas for treatment of neurodevelopment disorders.

Each day we feature 2 of the 10 finalists for the “Magnetic Moments” competition, for which final judging takes place on Thursday

Video#3: Sophie Schauman explains the importance to speed up MRI acquisition time while having richer images and highlights her first step to make it happen using compressed sensing.

Video #4: The MR community is in dire need of faster, more accurate and flexible image. Nadine Graedel unravel the potential use of a model forecasting the gradient’s behaviour in order to make it happen.
