Welcome to the Spring newsletter of the Cardiac Diffusion SIG!

In this issue, we would like to update you on the progress of the SIG multi-centre cardiac DTI study and invite you to get a drink with us during ISMRM 2024 in Singapore.

1.    SIG Multi-center Cardiac DTI Study
We have received interest from more than 20 sites to participate in the multi-center study, and would like to update on the progress of the study planning and setup.

Over the past months, the SIG executive has put together a project management committee for effective study management. The PMC have worked to refine and implement all aspects of the study. These include refining the study design, optimizing and testing of sequences, drafting of SOPs, initiating sequence transfers, setting up data export SOPs and scripts, working with beta test sites to test sequences and SOPs, organizing data management and access, drafting ethics application and legal agreements, and more. We have also conducted a feasibility assessment of site participation as travelling or non-travelling volunteer sites. Due to cost, logistics and legal considerations, we have made the difficult decision to proceed at this time with a travelling volunteer study comprising 5 sites in France and the UK. All other sites have been invited to participate as non-travelling volunteer sites.

We would like to thank everyone for your enthusiasm and support. We are excited to see the study come together, and to work with you to build connections and community within the field. We look forward to engaging with you to make this project a success, and welcome any inputs and feedback. Thank you.

2.    SIG Informal Dinner & Drinks @ ISMRM
As is tradition, we will be organizing an informal dinner and drinks session this ISMRM in Singapore. All are welcome. Please feel free to share this invitation to friends and colleagues attending ISMRM this year!
