Call for Late-Breaking Abstracts

The Annual Meeting Program Committee is very excited to announce a new feature at this year’s ISMRM Annual Meeting: a late breaking session! The topic for this year’s late breaking session is “Machine Learning.”

Due to the fast progress in this area and the broad applicability across the field of MRI, we will offer research groups the opportunity to share their latest results at the Annual Meeting in Honolulu.

Abstract will need to be uploaded to the abstract submission site, following the same format and guidelines as the abstracts submitted in November. Please note that late-breaking abstracts must be new submissions, and not duplicates of work previously submitted to the society.

Start preparing your abstract and look for the abstract submission site to open next week. We look forward to seeing your latest results!

– Scott Reeder, M.D., Ph.D., ISMRM 2017 Annual Meeting Chair
