Welcome
Last updated 20 February 2009
The technical exhibits will be on display for four days during the meeting, from 20 through 23 May. The Exhibition will be located in Exhibit Hall II in the Hawai'i Convention Center. Coffee areas will be located in the technical exhibition area. We continue to permit exhibitors to offer refreshments in their booths if they wish.
On 18 and 19 May 2002, educational programs will be offered, beginning with four two-day courses on Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Neuroimaging, Advanced Body MRI, and MR Physics for Physicians. In addition, five one-day programs will be presented: Cardiac MRI: Innovations and Advances, MR Angiography, Basics of Brain Function, Genomically Manipulated Mice and Phenotypic Imaging, and Sports Medicine MRI: Clinical & Technical Update. The Section for Magnetic Resonance Technologists will also hold its Eleventh Annual Meeting during this weekend.
The Scientific Meeting will follow from 20 through 24 May 2002. The Lauterbur Lecture will be given by Paul C. Lauterbur, Ph.D. His lecture is titled, "From Beginnings to Maybe." During the scientific sessions, we anticipate that approximately 2,000 presentations on the latest technical, scientific, and clinical subjects in the field of MR will be made. In addition to the parallel oral sessions, poster-viewing sessions, clinical focus sessions and morning categorical and clinical categorical sessions so successful in recent years, the Scientific Program Committee has also planned to continue the courses specifically designed for clinicians during the week of the scientific meeting.
This year, the special symposium entitled "Hot Topics for Clinical Practice" will be presented, and the successful four-day course entitled "MR Physics and Technicians for Clinicians" will again be offered.
The Tenth Scientific Meeting of the ISMRM will bring together delegates from many disciplines and many countries, whose common ground is their involvement with magnetic resonance. Your participation is vital to the success of the meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Honolulu.
