Sustainability

Workshop Overview

The overall goal is to catalyze and facilitate the clinical translation of perfusion MRI.

Perfusion MRI has experienced significant growth as a research field in recent years and is increasingly finding clinical applications. The general theme of the workshop will be about perfusion as an indicator of organ health and function. We will showcase research illustrating how perfusion imaging can be used to better understand disease pathology, monitor treatment response, and promote biomarker discovery.

In this workshop, we aim to disseminate cutting-edge research on perfusion MRI and other related methods. We aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas, techniques, and data, and to foster community development in an increasingly important scientific area through collaboration and networking. We aim to encourage dialogue between academic investigators and industrial, pharmaceutical, and regulatory partners.

We also aim to reach consensus on the acquisition, processing, analysis, and interpretation of perfusion MRI, given the new developments and availability of different techniques. These efforts will facilitate the standardization for the acquisition and analysis of perfusion MRI.

Target Audience

Engineers, scientists, and clinicians interested in perfusion MRI techniques and applications from acquisition to processing strategies.

Educational Objectives

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

Evaluate the state of the art in perfusion MRI techniques including DSC, DCE and ASL;
Describe the physical principles behind perfusion MRI acquisition;
Describe the mathematical modeling framework of vascular MRI;
Discuss state of the art in clinical brain perfusion imaging;
Discuss state of the art in clinical body brain perfusion imaging;
Discuss issues and solutions for increasing the accessibility of perfusion MRI;
Identify challenges and solutions for harmonization and standardization of pulse sequences;
Identify and discuss new and alternative methods for perfusion MRI, including high- and low-field applications; and
Discuss industry adoption of perfusion MRI methods.

Program Credit Designation

The International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine designates this live activity for a preliminary maximum of 20.00* AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

The American Medical Association has an agreement of mutual recognition of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits with the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), the accreditation body for European countries. Physicians interested in converting AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ to UEMS-European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education CME credits (ECMECs) should contact the UEMS at mutualrecognition@uems.eu.

Activities certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ that take place within a member country of the UEMS are not eligible for conversion to ECMECs under this agreement.

The International Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (ISMRT), A Section of the ISMRM, is recognized by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) as a Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM). This workshop does not offer CE credits.
