STIMULATE bei der ISMRM in London

Zum weltweit größten und führenden Kongress in radiologischer MRT-Bildgebung, der ISMRM-ESMRMB-Jahrestagung, trugen Beteiligte des Forschungscampus STIMULATE ihre neusten und für die internationale Forschungsgemeinschaft für wichtig befundenen Forschungsergebnisse bei. Die insgesamt zehn Präsentationen umfassten die Themen MR Thermometrie, MR Spulendesign, B0 Mapping, Segmentierung,(Deep Learning), Rekonstruktion sowie Open Source Tabletop MRI. Unter dem Titel „Baue deinen eigenen Open Source Scanner“ zeigte Marcus Prier in einem Tutorial das OCRA Tabletop MRI System, welches am Forschungscampus STIMULATE in Kooperation mit der Harvard Medical School entwickelten wurde. Zum Tutorial wurde außerdem eine Livemessung am Tabletop gezeigt. Die Beiträge waren als „invited talk“ Bestandteil des „Educational Programms“ der ISMRM-Jahrestagung.

Auch bei der die Konferenz begleitenden Messe zeigte STIMULATE Präsenz. Der Industriepartner Neoscan Solutions erfreute sich großer Aufmerksamkeit. Als Startup mit neonatalem MRT schloss Neoscan Solutions neue Kontakte mit international Interessierten und repräsentierte den Forschungscampus im Gespräch mit den Messebesuchenden sowie über die Standstellwand.   

Weitere Forschungsarbeiten wurden in Posterpräsentationen und in kurzen Power Pitches vorgestellt:

STIMULATE at the ISMRM in London

At the world's largest and leading congress in radiological MRI, the ISMRM-ESMRMB Annual Meeting, participants from the research campus STIMULATE contributed their latest research results, which have been found to be important for the international research community. The ten presentations included MR thermometry, MR coil design, B0 mapping, segmentation, (deep learning) reconstruction and open source tabletop MRI. Under the title "Build your own open source scanner", Marcus Prier showed the OCRA Tabletop MRI system in a tutorial and additionally he performed a live measurement. The OCRA Tabletop MRI system was developed at the research campus STIMULATE in cooperation with Harvard Medical School. The contributions were part of the "Educational Programme" of the ISMRM Annual Meeting as "invited talks".

STIMULATE was also present at the fair accompanying the conference. The industrial partner Neoscan Solutions enjoyed great attention as a startup with their neonatal MRI, made new contacts with internationally interested parties and represented the research campus in conversation with the visitors and also via the stand wall.  

Further research work was presented in poster presentations and partly in short power pitches:
