Overview & Program

Workshop Overview

This workshop will focus on methods, applications, and future perspectives of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). MRE is of increasing relevance in medical diagnostics as it permits quantitative imaging of the viscoelastic properties of soft tissues. This workshop addresses both clinical applications and recent technical developments in MRE. Considering the growing interest in the clinical application of MRE, the workshop will discuss the potential and current role of MRE in multiparametric MRI towards the objectified characterization of pathobiological processes underlying many diseases including chronic liver and kidney diseases, tumors, and neurological disorders.

Moreover, the workshop offers insight into the multiscale nature of in-vivo viscoelastic properties of soft tissues. To this end, structural elements and architectural properties that are potentially linked with MRE parameters will be identified and discussed from their biological and histopathological relevance.

Therefore, this workshop has special sessions in multiscale MRE covering MRE in patients, animal models, and tissue samples. This format aims to present concepts and practical approaches of various MRE modalities across field strengths and image resolutions and to initiate a lively knowledge exchange among scientists working in overlapping areas of biomechanics and quantitative diagnostic imaging.

The 2-day workshop combines expert talks, contributions from early career scientists, and poster presentations to foster discussions and the scientific exchange in MRE. There will be a session dedicated to the “travelling MRE phantom,” which has been investigated by many MRE groups worldwide.

Target Audience:

This workshop invites participants with interest in medical applications and basic research of MRE. Although most of the sessions will require a basic understanding of MRE or tissue biomechanics, there will be a basic introductory course as well as posters on the principles of MRE. The target audience of the workshop is MR physicists, clinicians with interest in MRE, radiologists, biomedical engineers as well as biologists whose research interest lies in the area of tissue biomechanics.

Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the value of MRE in clinical routine and basic research;
  • Describe the current developments of MRE, including hardware setup, data acquisition methods, and post-processing strategies;
  • Explain the biological processes/structures/changes that can influence mechanical tissue properties quantified by MRE; and
  • Discuss the future direction of MRE for clinical applications.
