Overview & Program

Workshop Overview

Perfusion MRI is increasingly used as a diagnostic marker in many diseases throughout the body, allowed by considerable technical advances that have been made in the past decade. Standardization efforts are also ongoing through several consortia. Notably, the last Perfusion workshop was held in 2012.

A significant development over the ten years since the last ISMRM perfusion workshop is the expansion of the field beyond the brain and into other organs of the body, with considerable activity in cancer applications (for instance, breast and prostate) and in the heart, but increasingly also in other tissues such as liver, kidneys, lung, pancreas, spleen, or muscle. Each body area presents its particular challenges, but there is also a strong common basis. With the theme "Perfusion MRI: From Head to Toe," the workshop strives to highlight the increasing breadth of the field and present a unifying perspective that will facilitate a transfer of expertise.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scientists and clinicians interested in technical research and application-oriented innovations in perfusion MRI. We anticipate this to facilitate the exchange to ideas, techniques, and data; to seek consensus on the acquisition, processing, analysis, and interpretation of perfusion MRI; to break new frontiers of research on perfusion and related physiological parameters; to encourage dialogue between academic investigators and industrial, pharmaceutical, and regulatory partners; and to foster collaborations among the broader research community.

Educational Objectives:

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

  • Explain recent advances in ASL, DSC, and DCE perfusion techniques as well as the latest consensus in these fields;
  • Describe current state of perfusion MRI in body, MSK, and extremities, in addition to that in the brain;
  • State physiological parameters beyond CBF that can be measured with perfusion MRI techniques;
  • List several new perfusion MRI techniques that are not based on ASL/DSC/DCE; and
  • Explain the basic principles behind the Open-Source Initiative for Perfusion Imaging.

Target Audience:

This workshop is targeted toward scientists and clinicians interested in perfusion MRI techniques and basic science or clinical applications.
