For the second straight year, radiology portal AuntMinnie.com has launched a new special section dedicated exclusively to the proceedings of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) and Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (SMRT) annual meeting.
AuntMinnie's RADCast@ISMRM is available at radcast.auntminnie.com and features wall-to-wall editorial coverage of the premier medical conference dedicated exclusively to MRI. Important topics at the ISMRM and SMRT 2020 conference include the following:
- Alternatives to gadolinium-based MRI contrast
- Reducing the ecological impact of MRI scanners
- MRI in low-resource countries
- New applications of artificial intelligence and MRI
- Holographic visualization of human anatomy
- Efforts to improve the safety of MRI scanning
"We're pleased to once again be offering coverage of the ISMRM annual meeting," said Brian Casey, editor in chief of AuntMinnie.com. "This year's virtual format for ISMRM 2020 is a perfect complement to our exclusively online coverage."
ISMRM's mission to educate the MRI community continues with this year's virtual meeting, even in an era of social distancing, according to Lawrence L. Wald, PhD, 2019-2020 ISMRM president.
"Sharing research, networking, precipitating new thinking, and inspiring thought that does not come easily in isolation -- that is the goal of our annual meeting," Wald said. "It's been a challenging year for all of us, with plenty of isolation, but I am confident that the virtual meeting can achieve these goals. I look forward to participating in it with you. It has been an honor serving the society as the 2019-2020 ISMRM president."
AuntMinnie's daily editorial coverage of ISMRM and SMRT 2020 will run from August 8 to August 14.
