MBCIU at ISMRM 2023

MBCIU at the 2023 ISMRM & ISMRT Annual Meeting

It has been a busy week for the MBCIU at the 2023 ISMRM & ISMRT Annual Meeting with a number of presentations and posters. A broad range of topics were covered from pulse design to imaging technique.

Dr. Myrte Strik presented her work on a quantitative MRI approach to tracking multiple sclerosis lesions when changing medication.

Didi Chi presented her work on Hybrid Adiabatic Pulse with asYmmetry (HAPY) which allows for SAR reduction for the labelling pulse in PASL at 7T.

Rebecca Glarin gave a presentation on brainstem imaging using MSNA coupled fMRI and SSNA coupled fMRI.

Dr. Brad Moffat presented a digital poster on Serial Acquisition of radiofrequency pulse MOdes (SAMO) in order to correct for transmit field inhomogeneity.

Igor Tyshchenko presented a digital poster regarding the utilisation of extreme value theory in order to assess the risk of exceeding SAR limits.  Igor also presented a digital poster on his work with sub-population universal pulses in parallel transmission in order to use SAR limits more efficiently.

Mara Quach presented a digital poster on Joseph Bartlett's work on the use of deep neural networks to produce high quality fibre orientation distributions from fewer multi-shell diffusion weighted images.

Negin Yaghmaie presented a digital poster on an improved slice acceleration technique - Spatial Fourier Excited Acquisition and Reconstruction (SFEAR).
