The keynote speakers at the ACVR meeting all had very interesting perspectives on the future of imaging. Here is a short summary of the speakers with some links to further information.
Michael Garwood from the University of Minnesota Presented “Beyond anatomy: Imaging molecules, function and disease using advanced magnetic resonance technologies”. Some of his areas of interest include using MR spectroscopy to diagnose breast cancer and monitor response to treatment, and functional MR of the brain.
Fleming Forsberg from the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia gave a very entertaining talk entitled “Animal models for ultrasound contrast imaging research”, and touched on many techniques including recent advances in contrast harmonic imaging.
Chick Weisse from the University of Pennsylvania spoke about “IR or the OR”, and advances in veterinary interventional radiology. This field has many applications such as treatment of portosystemic shunts and collapsing trachea.
Joseph Hornak from the Rochester Institute of Technology gave a very nice talk on various MR topics. He has also written an online book entitled “The basics of MRI“. He spoke about advances in coil design and image acquisition that would significantly shorten the time needed to complete a study.
