ESMRMB Event Calendar

Welcome to Marseille for the 2020 meeting of the European Congress of Magnetic Resonance in Neuropediatrics (ECMRN) formely known as European Society of Magnetic Resonance in Neuropediatrics. (ESMRN). As in previous meetings, the day before the main event will be a precongress day dedicated to fetal, neonatal and infant brain. This educational day adresses basic and advanced topics in this peculiar field. The congress is intended to provide review and discussion of diseases involving the pediatric brain as well as new trends  and clinical applications.The congress is designed for practicing radiologists whose work includes pediatric neuroradiology and those involved in neurosciences, neurology and/or related fields.

The EU Marie Curie openGTN project investigates methods to simulate realistic magnetic resonance images (MRI) that can be used for optimizing, benchmarking and validating medical image analysis algorithms.

At the workshop we will present and discuss how to simulate MR images with as much as possible similar appearances, anatomical variation and artefacts as scanned human MRI data. Special attention will be paid at the use of such data for optimizing deep-learning based image segmentation methods. The three openGTN early-stage researchers (PhD researchers) will present the approaches used so far to generate simulated MRI data of the brain, spine and heart, and the use of these data to improve deep-learning based MRI segmentation. Thereafter three renowned, invited speakers will give their view on the subject, from different perspectives.

The workshop will close with a discussion about how to make MRI simulations even more realistic. Workshop attendance is free of charge, please register via the openGTN website (limited seating available!).

Join ISMRM & SMRT “down under” in beautiful Sydney, NSW, Australia, for our 2020 Annual Meeting.

Connect with our vibrant, collaborative, international, and interdisciplinary family of MR clinicians, physicists, engineers, biochemists, radiographers & technologists, and industry professionals.

Take in the wonder of Sydney while discovering, along with thousands of MR professionals, the latest innovations, techniques, and research in magnetic resonance. Watch the sunrise over Bondi Beach, visit the architectural genius of the Sydney Opera House, climb the engineering feat of the Sydney Harbor Bridge and taste the cultural fusion cuisine.

Come for the meeting to share and network with us as we continue the push to advance the impact and reach of magnetic resonance in medicine – and then stay for the adventure.

The EFOMP school for Medical Physics Experts will be aimed at advanced tasks connected with the use of statistical methods in data handling and interpretation. The school will cover the methods of inferential statistics most frequently used in the medical field, the statistical methods used in radiomics, the treatment of errors and uncertainties in radiation dosimetry.

This two-and-half day event will be accredited by EBAMP (European Board of Accreditation for Medical Physics) and is intended for practicing clinical Medical Physicists who are involved in data management and research. As in last year’s school, there will be an optional examination at the end for those seeking a higher level of certification beyond attendance.

The 8th MR in RT Symposium is the major event in the field of MR guided radiotherapy and we expect many opinion leaders from all major clinical research centers to contribute to it. We anticipate approximately 400 international participants for this symposium, attracting Medical Physicists, Radiation Oncologists as well as Radiologists, Computer Scientists, Radiation Therapists and trainees interested in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Radiation Therapy. This annual symposium is a 2.5 day scientific meeting and will include keynote lectures, panel discussions, talks and poster presentations as well as an industrial exhibition. We intend to discuss especially the current clinical status and future directions of this field, which will be important for its clinical success.

The Oncologic Imaging Course (OIC), established in 2011, is an annual oncologic imaging course jointly organised by the European Society of Oncologic Imaging, the Department of Radiology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Department of Radiology at Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and the Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image­Guided Therapy at the Medical University of Vienna.

OIC welcomes the most qualified faculty who comprise of internationally renowned speakers.These experts share their expertise with the participants who are also invited to actively contribute to the sessions with their experience and advice.

Those involved in the field of oncologic imaging are experiencing a time of increasing pressure, stress and change. The demand for efficiency and effectiveness in all oncologic imaging matters is constantly growing. OIC addresses current challenges and provides a forum for education and the exchange of ideas and concepts. The course furthermore deals with supportive methods and techniques so the delegates will leave with new ideas for their day-to-day practice. OIC involves lectures, workshops, interactive case discussions and panel discussions.

Dear friends and colleagues,

We are very much delighted to announce the 11th Scientific Symposium on Clinical Needs, Research Promises and Technical Solutions in Ultrahigh Field Magnetic Resonance, which will be held on Friday, September 4th 2020 in Berlin, Germany. Please save the date.

Goals and Objectives
The symposium is from the community for the community. It is designed to provide an overview of state-of-the-art (pre)clinical ultrahigh field (UHF) MR, to discuss the clinical relevance of UHF MR, to explore future directions of UHF MR, to foster explorations into multi-modality imaging at different scales in time and space and data sciences, and to initiate local, regional, national and international collaboration and last but not least to provide plenty of time to engage into fruitful exchange with your peers and colleagues The symposium is tailored to attract basic scientists, engineers, hardware professionals, translational researchers, clinical scientists, applied scientists and clinicians with all levels of experience and expertise ranging from undergraduate and graduate students interested in imaging to trainees, advanced users and applications experts.

Scientific Program
The scientific program comprises 4 sessions, all balancing technical developments and clinical applications. We are very much honored to present extraordinary (inter)national speakers including MR technology leaders and distinguished clinical experts, all bridging disciplinary boundaries and stimulating the imaging community to throw further weight behind the solution of unsolved problems and unmet clinical needs.

Poster Session and Poster Power Presentations
The scientific program will be paralleled by a poster session. We wish to encourage those of you who are prepared to walk the extra mileage. The best posters will be rewarded with a poster award. Thanks to the communities valuable feedback we have also included 15 slots of 3 min poster power presentations in the program. This will give a large number of poster presenters the opportunity to be in the enlightening spotlight of the audience. We are eagerly looking forward to your poster contributions.

Technical Exhibition and Social Event
The symposium will be supplemented by a technical exhibition, by an open day of the Berlin Ultrahigh Field Facility (B.U.F.F.) as well as a social event.

Professional Child Care
On a special note; many of us know first-hand how challenging it can be to balance the needs of our families with the mission to advance science. To this end we are very pleased to offer professional child care for the course of the symposium and the social event. Please do not hesitate to contact us so that we can provide further details.

Be Berlin

We warmly invite you to join us for the 11th Annual Scientific Symposium on Ultrahigh Field MR on September 4th 2020 in Berlin. Please save the date. A visit to Berlin is always worth it. Alongside MR science, Berlin has numerous historical landmarks, cultural highlights and sport events to offer.
