Overview
Plenary Lecture:
This lecture focuses on advance MR imaging and spectroscopy in body, including GI, kidney, and liver. The challenges and future directions of body imaging will also be discussed, as well as the role of ultra-high field and low-field MR.

Keynote Lecture:
The term “radiomics” becomes more and more popular nowadays, but what does it mean, and what is the role of MR in radiomics? This keynote lecture will give an insightful explanation of radiomics and will also reveal the potential of radiomics and its current challenges. The role of MR clinicians in the development of radiomics will also be discussed.

Target Audience
Radiographers, technologists, radiologists, clinicians, scientists in learning about the clinical translation of technological advances in MRI.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
Plenary
- Identify advanced imaging methods for body imaging (GI, Liver, kidney, etc.);
- Describe potential advantages and challenges of body imaging; and
- Explain the role of ultra-high field and low field in body imaging.

Keynote
- Explain the term “radiomics” and the role of MR in radiomics;
- Describe potential advantages and challenges of radiomics; and
- Explain recent development of radiomics and the role that MR clinicians play in the development of radiomics.

08:15		The Body in Action No Video Available Penny Gowland Keywords: Body: Digestive, Body: Reproductive, Cross-organ: Multi-morbidity This talk will highlight how MR can be applied in areas beyond standard radiology. In particular MR is being used to study physiology and biochemistry, dynamically to monitor normal function or to study the response to challenges. It will start by explaining how open MRI and high field (7t) MRI can particularly contribute to this approach. Several case studies will then be discussed.
09:00		Radiomics: The Role of MR No Video Available Bettina Baeßler Keywords: Cross-organ: Tissue characterisation, Image acquisition: Image processing, Transferable skills: Reproducible research Radiomics is a quantitative approach to medical imaging, which aims at enhancing the existing data by means of advanced mathematical analysis. Various studies from different fields in imaging have been published so far, highlighting the potential of radiomics to enhance clinical decision-making. However, the field faces several important challenges, which are mainly caused by the various technical factors influencing the extracted radiomic features. This holds especially true for the field of MR. The aim of this presentation is to explain, what radiomics is, to present the typical workflow of a radiomics analysis, and to discuss the current limitations of radiomics.
