To Create a high-energy scientific workshop to present and organically brainstorm new and emerging metabolic and endogenous contrast cardiac magnetic resonance techniques and to create opportunities for multicenter cardiometabolic interventional clinical trials.
Metabolism has an essential role in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease. Despite significant research advancements in recent years, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides limited options for imaging metabolism in the clinic. Historically, 1H and multinuclear MR spectroscopy has shown metabolite concentrations in the myocardium and other organs. Today, there is enormous need and excitement for the development of new methods for metabolic imaging including multinuclear imaging, hyperpolarized imaging, chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST), and oxygen-sensitive imaging. Beyond metabolism, a field of endogenous contrast imaging, or the imaging of molecular constituents of the myocardium and their influence on relaxation times, diffusion and other properties, has also gained enormous interest. This will be a forum for discussion of emerging endogenous contrast imaging techniques including multiparametric imaging techniques, T1rho, adipose mapping, and other developments.
The purpose of this workshop is to create a forum for discussion and presentation of the latest advances in metabolic and endogenous contrast CMR. There will be a focus on clinical need for metabolic and endogenous contrast CMR, cutting edge research and discussions of how to begin to make these techniques available to help patients.
The workshop will offer a mixture of invited scientific and educational presentations, proffered abstracts, hands-on demonstrations and expert panel discussions. It will provide a venue for research presentations and in-depth discussions by the attendees in a hybrid in-person/virtual meeting format.
The target audience for this workshop is physicists, engineers, computer scientists, and physicians interested in metabolic and endogenous contrast CMR.
