Overview & Program

Workshop Overview

Quantitative MRI (qMRI) methods hold the promise of improved diagnosis and monitoring of white matter disorders. Despite great advances in the development of sophisticated qMRI methods, their translation into clinic is still in its infancy. This workshop will review state-of-the-art qMRI methods, technical aspects and clinical applications and focus on bridging the gap between research and clinical implementation.

This in-person workshop offers a unique opportunity for one-on-one discussions, informal networking, and interaction between trainees and established researchers, M.D.s and Ph.D.s. A panel of experts will lead a discussion on reproducibility in white matter: remaining barriers and how to break them down. The scientific program focuses on qMRI methods to study white matter from different angles: macrostructure (relaxation), microstructure (diffusion, susceptibility) and metabolism (CEST, spectroscopy and X-nuclei). In each session, a physicist/engineer and physician will provide an overview of state-of-the-art methods, highlight promising avenues and interesting clinical applications. Poster presentations are an integral part of the program and will be advertised in power pitch presentations.

Reproducible research facilitates clinical translation and will be promoted throughout this workshop, which is organized by the White Matter Study Group with strong input from the Reproducible Research Study Group.

The workshop has been carefully structured to be interdisciplinary, to bring together brain researchers and clinicians, and offers CME credits.

Target Audience

This workshop is designed for researchers (including Ph.D. students and postdocs); clinicians (e.g., neurologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons); trainees; MR technologists; government regulatory experts;nonprofit and academic groups interested in quantitative and reproducible MRI methods of white matter; and members of the White Matter Study Group. It will also be of particular interest to members of the Reproducible Research Study Group.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Review the fundamentals of qMRI methods in white matter: acquisition, analysis and applications;
Recognize the current limitations in qMRI methods in white matter, both from the standpoint of physical limits and obstacles to clinical translation;
Explore both the established and the more recent developments in qMRI methods of white matter for use in the clinical applications; and
Develop their own view on the common vision for the future of qMRI methods and its translation to everyday clinical practice.
