This July, the heart of Madison buzzed with the latest breakthroughs in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the Magnetic Resonance in Madison meeting. The two-day event, held on July 10th and 11th at the Pyle Center, brought together leading minds in science, engineering, and clinical practice to discuss the future of MRI. For us at MITRP, where our focus is on advancing imaging techniques to better detect and understand human disease, it was an exciting and vital conversation to be a part of.
The meeting featured an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, including experts from NYU, Stanford, GSK, and UC Berkeley, creating a fantastic environment for learning and collaboration. Our team was deeply involved, contributing to the scientific discourse that drives the field forward.
MITRP’s own James Wang served as a session moderator, guiding discussions on emerging MRI methods. He also presented a poster on his research, titled “Considerations in Gradient Impulse Response Function Acquisitions.” This work is critical for improving the fundamental accuracy and reliability of MRI systems, which directly translates to higher-quality diagnostic images. Meanwhile, Ted Nowak presented his research on the “Development of a 36mT Travelling Wave Electron Paramagnetic Imaging Device,” highlighting our lab’s efforts to create entirely new technologies to visualize biological processes.
We are also thrilled to announce that James Wang received a poster award for his outstanding presentation! His recognition among a field of top researchers is a testament to the impactful work being done here at the lab. Participating in and contributing to events like this is essential to our mission, as the exchange of ideas is what fuels the next generation of imaging technology.
