ISMRM 2010 in Stockholm

This year’s annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine took place in Stockholm. As of May 1st through May 7th, speeches and poster presentations were held and discussed. The study group open MRI was represented by Ulf Teichgräber, Jens Rump, Felix Güttler and Christian Seebauer, who presented the group’s findings and innovations.

The pros and cons of various field strengths and bore configurations of different interventional MRI systems were controversially discussed in the forum of the “Interventional MRI Study Group”. Ulf Teichgräber represented our study group with the open high-field MRI (1 Tesla). His counterparts were Clifford R. Weiss, who represented a 1.5 Tesla system (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA) and Clare Temany, who represented 3 Tesla systems for Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, MA, USA).

The 2009 RealTI workshop group was also represented by Jouke Smink (Philips Scientific, Best, Netherlands) and Yasmina Berber (IMF CNRS, Universite Victor Segalen Bordeaux, France), who had organized a follow-up conference, where innovations and further developments of RealTI were presented.
