The 2000 Scientific Meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine will combine elements of interest to both basic scientists and clinicians to provide a program to appeal to all attendees.

The
Weekend Educational Courses will feature sessions on MR imaging, spectroscopy, and methodology.  A two-day imaging course on Introductory MRI will be presented.   One-day advanced courses will also be available.  A two-day spectroscopy course covering both Introductory and Advanced Spectroscopy will be offered.  In addition, a one-day course will be given focusing on MR methodology.

The Plenary Lectures will begin the Scientific Meeting each day from Monday through Friday.  The highlight of the opening session is the Lauterbur Lecture, which will be given at the Denver meeting by Professor Richard Ernst, of the ETH, Zurich, Switzerland, who received the Nobel Prize for his tremendous contributions to the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.  His work led to major advances in a very wide range of applications of NMR, from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine.   Professor Ernst's lecture is entitled "Fourier's Heritage."

The Oral Scientific Sessions,
Poster Sessions, and Clinical Focus Sessions will be constructed from proffered abstracts.  This is the place where participants can communicate their most recent results in oral or poster presentations.  The number of proffered abstracts in various categories not only influences the scientific sessions but also the program as a whole.  The SPC strives to ensure that posters are easily accessible and receive the recognition they deserve as a major component of the scientific program.  The Denver meeting will offer limited digital data and video projection for some of the oral presentations.

Special Courses include Morning Categorical Courses, Clinical Categorical Courses, Practical Courses, and a Special Symposium.  The three Morning Categorical Courses will address the topics of Cardiac Imaging, fMRI in Neuro-Psychiatric Disease and Treatment, Abdominal Imaging, and The Nano-Meter Film: How MRS and MRI can Probe Tissue Mircrostructure.  Clinical Categorical Courses will be offered on Fetal and Newborn Imaging, Brain Spectroscopy, Musculoskeletal MRI, MR Contrast Media, Dynamic Contrast of Tumors, and Head and Neck Imaging.  A practical course,
MR Physics and Techniques for Clinicians, will be presented, as well as a special symposium, Strategies for Successful Clinical Research: FDA Approval, Grantsmanship, Funding Opportunities, and the Grants Process.
