The field of magnetic resonance has evolved rapidly over the past quarter century, allowing for new applications across a broad spectrum of basic science and clinical research areas. Today, one important development looming on the clinical MR research horizon is the move towards ultrahigh field magnetic resonance (UHF MR).
Inspired by this opportunity and motivated by the 2007 meeting of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, the Berlin Ultrahigh Field Facility has been set up at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine as part of the Experimental Clinical Research Center initiative. This strategic investment is devoted to fostering science. It holds a broad range of promises for basic MR research and clinical applications with the ultimate goal of advancing the capabilities of imaging in the fields of cardiology, neuroscience, molecular medicine, and oncology, as well as others.
Realizing these opportunities, the 1st Annual Scientific Symposium will focus on clinical needs, research promises, and technical solutions in ultrahigh field MR. The symposium will provide an overview of the state of the art of (pre)clinical UHF MR, discuss the clinical relevance of UHF MR, explore future directions of UHF MR, foster explorations into ultrahigh field MR, and initiate local, regional, national, and international collaborations.
The symposium is designed to attract basic scientists and clinicians with all levels of experience and expertise ranging from students interested in imaging to advanced users. The program comprises four sessions, all balancing technical developments and clinical applications. The symposium is honored to present extraordinary speakers, including MR technology leaders and distinguished clinical experts, all bridging disciplinary boundaries together with stimulating topics. The scientific program will be paralleled by a technical exhibition and supplemented by an open day of the Berlin Ultrahigh Field facility.
Interested professionals will receive a warm welcome at the 1st Annual Scientific Symposium on Ultrahigh Field MR in Berlin. It is always worth it to visit Berlin. The city conducts the Capital-of-Science campaign this year, with the motto "Berlin-the place to be for science." Alongside MR science, Berlin has numerous historic landmarks, highlights, and cultural events to offer visitors.

Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
