MR radiographers and technologists occupy a unique position providing a vital link between the patient, the clinic, and the science.

This year at the ISMRT Annual Meeting in Singapore, 03-06 May 2024, we are highlighting the role of the MR technologist in driving innovation with our Masterclass on branching out and completing a Ph.D., as well as our Global Showcase and President’s Lecture on MR radiographers translating technological advances into the clinic and sharing MR education across the globe.

Our AMPC team has been diligently working to develop a program that promises to be enlightening and enriching for all attendees. Across 8 educational forums on safety, neuro, body, cardiac, cancer, pediatrics, and research, we will cover the latest advancements in MRI.

We are also very excited to have Dr. Charlene Liew’s keynote, “AI in Radiology,” as well as Dr. Matthew Rosen’s plenary lecture, “Low Field MRI & Deep Learning.”

In addition, we will have parallel multilingual forums dedicated to our Japanese and Chinese colleagues, as well as our ISMRM/ISMRT Joint Forum: MRI Safety in Trauma Imaging.

I urge you to seize this opportunity to enrich your knowledge, expand your professional network, and contribute to the advancement of MR imaging at the ISMRT Annual Meeting in Singapore. Your participation is essential in shaping the future of our field and ensuring that we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence in MR imaging.

I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore for what promises to be an inspiring and transformative event.
