Description

Over the past two decades image-guided therapies have expanded into every organ system and disease state. Interventional MRI (iMRI) has become vital to current multimodality image-guided therapies and also provides an entirely new platform for novel therapies.

In light of the rapid developments in the field and due to the success of the 13th iMRI Symposium 2022 in Leipzig, we would like to cordially invite you to attend the 14th Interventional MRI Symposium 2024 in Annapolis, Maryland, USA.

The Interventional MRI Symposium is a cutting-edge platform for researchers, clinicians, and other healthcare specialists to present their latest results and interact with international leaders and innovators in the field.

The current program will be composed of lectures from both invited speakers and proffered papers. We encourage all professionals working in the field of interventional MRI to submit scientific abstracts to this symposium.

The focus of the iMRI Symposium is the use of magnetic resonance imaging for the planning, control, and monitoring of surgical and radiological interventions. In particular, the topics of the 2024 iMRI symposium include interventional MRI systems, hybrid designs, instrumentation, MR pulse sequences, visualization techniques and data processing, navigation techniques, robotics, MR thermometry, thermal ablation techniques, MR guided biopsies, molecular imaging, MR guidance of cellular therapies, and targeted drug delivery.

 

Learning Objectives

After attending this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:

• Explain the underlying concepts and related methods in interventional and
  intraoperative MRI.
• List specific indications and applications for different clinical questions.
• Identify the advantages and limitations of interventional MRI approaches.
• Describe key research areas and clinical findings.
• Evaluate trends and developments within the field.
