Workshop Overview

The focus of the 2025 ISMRM Workshop on MR Safety will focus on MR safety practice as experienced by MR clinics worldwide. This will include education for ISMRM and ISMRT members on practical safety topics like MR safety infrastructure and management but also upcoming topics like implant safety, low- and mid-field MR safety, and MR safety in interventional settings. With this setup we hope to attract especially technologist/radiographers (ISMRT members) to the workshop who daily experience ever growing MR safety issues in their clinics.

Additionally, the workshop will be a forum for clinicians, scientists, and engineers to discuss the latest developments with respect to MR safety. It will help to evaluate the current state of MR safety, identify needs and gaps in clinical/scientific practice, and transform these into required working items for scientific, clinical, regulatory, and industrial innovations. These include AI methods, in-vivo temperature mapping, and parallel transmission techniques. Dedicated sessions will discuss MR safety for special settings such as pediatric and prenatal MRI, portable MRI, MR-guided radiation therapy, and MR safety at UHF fields above 10T. This will be completed by exhibiting open-source hardware equipment for MR safety testing such as a portable low-field MRI scanner, RF coils, parallel transmission hardware, and implant safety testing equipment.

This workshop will feature presentations and discussions lead by topic experts. Additionally, we will invite abstracts for both scientific and clinical posters. A selection of the submitted abstracts will be offered the opportunity to present their work by means of 4-5 minute power pitches.

This workshop will be held as a hybrid workshop to allow wider attendance and reduce the CO2 footprint of the meeting.

During the workshop, a showcase featuring Open Source Hardware and Open Source Software for MR safety will highlight and support collaborative approaches to open science. If you want your scientific Open Source Project related to MR safety to be presented either physically or digitally on-site at the workshop please reach out to lukas.winter@ptb.de.

Target Audience

We expect an audience of clinicians, physicists, engineers, students, technologists/radiographers, regulators, industry representatives, and everyone else interested in or responsible for MR safety. We hope to attract participants from all over the world.

Educational Objectives

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

• Practice patient safety for an increased number of cases;
• Evaluate and revise instructions for safe use of devices in MR setting;
• Recognize the physics of MR safety; and
• Appraise the culture assuring MR safety in their own institution.
