08:00		Introduction & Fast & Furious Body Protocols Overview View Presentation Video Ruth Lim Impact: Streamlining body MRI protocols tailored to the clinical question is important for clinical care, scan efficiency and sustainability of MRI services. This lecture provides a review of abbreviated body MRI protocols for various indications and current evidence for their use.
08:25		Fast & Furious Body Protocols - Technical Considerations View Presentation Video Joshua Trzasko Impact: Body Imaging faces a number of technical challenges ranging from varying anatomies, motion, physiological limitations (e.g., breath-holding), and complex artifacts. In this talk we will highlight some of advanced MRI technologies used to both expedite and harden body MRI protocols.
08:50		AI Reconstructions for Speed Efrat Shimron
09:15		Liver Cancer (Primary & Metastases) View Presentation Video Kumi Ozaki Impact: The presentation highlights successful applications of abbreviated MRI protocols for liver cancer, including both primary tumors and metastases. It illustrates how these protocols can enhance MRI workflow and discusses potential future directions for their use.
09:40		Break & Meet the Teachers
10:10		Diffuse Liver Disease Jin Wang
10:35		Breast Cancer Screening Katja Pinker-Domenig Impact: Abbreviated DCE-MRI protocols substantially shorten image acquisition and interpretation time, allow higher volume patient throughput while maintaining a high diagnostic accuracy offering a cost-effective screening breast DCE-MRI to a broader population.
11:00		Prostate Cancer Ryan Brunsing Impact: Prostate MRI plays a central role in the detection, diagnosis, and surveillance of prostate cancer. In this talk we discuss approaches to reducing sequences, improving robustness, and shortening Prostate MRI image acquisition times through pulse sequence optimization and AI technologies.
11:25		Pancreaticobiliary Chenchan Huang Impact: MRI with MRCP offers a fast, cost-effective, and radiation-free approach for pancreatic cyst surveillance, and abbreviated non-contrast protocol may be a viable alternative.
11:50		Conclusion & Q & A Christoph Rettenmeier, Aaryani Tipirneni-Sajja
