Bruker @ ISMRM – Scientific Workshop

ON DEMAND

Structure and Function of The Brain

In this session, Klaus Scheffler will present a keynote lecture focusing on investigation of multiple levels of brain organization. Hao Huang and Seong-Gi Kim will expand on new findings with fMRI, before Joanes Grandjean explains the importance of standardization of fMRI studies. In a panel discussion, the speakers will then discuss the open challenges of fMRI and where its potential lies.

An Exploration of Metabolic Imaging

In this session, Arend Heerschap will provide a keynote lecture on spectroscopy. Greg Stanisz will then provide an overview of practical applications of metabolic imaging methods. Marty Pagel will expand on CEST imaging and Kayvan Keshari continue with a discussion on hyperpolarization. During the panel discussion, the speakers will discuss what the future holds for various metabolic imaging methods, and where they see the greatest potential for employment.
