Overview & Program

Workshop Overview

The workshop will be the 7th in a series of Sedona workshops (previously held 2007, 2009, 2013, 2016, 2020, and 2023), and updated to reflect new trends in MRI, but keeping many of the successful elements of the previous workshops. This workshop will continue to explore the practical boundaries of new and unconventional methods for collecting data (pulse sequences) and for reconstructing images from that data. This will include constrained reconstruction such as compressed sensing, AI-assisted reconstruction, quantitative imaging, image evaluation and reproducibility, non-Cartesian methodologies, and parallel imaging. The workshop will explore the challenges to these methods, how to measure and characterize them, and methods (both available and necessary to develop) to overcome them. In addition to invited scientific presentations, the program will include proffered papers and poster presentations.

Target Audience

We will target technical researchers who are developing next-generation methods in data sampling and reconstruction—this has proven to be a seminal workshop for this crowd.

Educational Objectives

Special Abstract Category

Call for Abstracts for Special Category:

High Impact Projects

In addition to conventional abstracts, we are seeking abstracts that define multi-site, multi-PI unsolved projects to move the field forward. We will favor abstracts which define clear problems or opportunities with high impact that are potentially addressable now, without defining a clear solution, over abstracts which are some version of “you should all work on my solution.” Successful abstracts should point towards future outcomes such as the many white papers submitted by ISMRM study groups, substantial improvements in basic algorithms/software, prototype or proof of concept implementations of radically new hardware or algorithms, standardizations that are missing in the field, or similar goals that might be achieved by a coordinated effort within the ISMRM community attending this workshop. Abstracts with authors from multiple institutions are encouraged, but not required.

Successful abstracts will get an oral presentation during a special session in the meeting. If you want your abstract considered for this call, please make the title of the abstract begin with the words "High Impact Project:”, e.g. “High Impact Project: Waterproof scanners for outdoor applications” or “High Impact Project: Choosing a standard for gradient performance"

To submit an abstract for this category, continue to the submission form and click "Yes" on the question that asks, "Is this abstract being submitted for the 'High Impact Projects' category?"
