Scientific Program

“2nd Madison-Freiburg Workshop on

Accelerated Medical Imaging “
June 17-18 2010

Workshop Description

Objectives of this workshop are to discuss the current state of the art accelerated
imaging concepts and applications, roadblocks to clinical applications and vendor
implementation, and strategies to effectively address these limitations.
• New Hardware Developments
• Constrained Reconstruction including parallel imaging
• Accelerated MR Applications
• Rapid Quantitative Imaging
• Performance Metrics – Connecting Imaging Science with Radiology

Invited speakers will present keynote lectures on pertinent topics with further
presentations by contributed papers. The workshop in Madison will also be tailored
towards students' education.

Extended poster viewing and discussion sessions are an integral part of the scientific
program and will allow discussions about new concepts.

The workshop will take place in Madison, WI at the Health Science Learning Center
(HSLC), which is located on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus adjacent to
the UW Hospital & Clinics.

Panelists: Dana Peters, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA
Michael Hansen, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD
Dan Thedens, University of Iowa

Goals:
Workshop will agree on an adequate and robust processing method for acquisition in these areas
- B0 corrections
- Calibration procedures / acquisition
- Gradient trajectory measurement & correction (gradient delays, eddy currents, etc)
- Gridding kernel / oversampling ratio
Plan multisite / multivendor ISMRM submission: demonstrate imaging robustness in each of the
areas above using the agreed upon correction method on multiple platforms using the agreed
upon standard correction method.
