AGENDA

The program of the International Magnetic Resonance Workshop: “MRS 2022: Overcoming the Barriers to Clinical Use” is spread over 3 days and contains 9 scientific sessions.
The sessions cover educational invited topics from the basics to the recent advancements in the field and proffered oral presentations based on submitted abstracts by PhD students or senior scientists describing the latest advancements in the field.
In addition, onsite poster sessions, lunches, breaks, a panel discussion and a dinner are organized to facilitate and provide ample opportunity for students to meet and share their exciting work with their peers and MRS experts in-person. Given the lack of in-person events over the last two years due to COVID-19, we feel it is of high value and importance for researchers that just entered the field to have informal discussions with each other and the more senior scientists.

Presentations and recordings are now available!
