We are pleased to announce the website for the SCMR/ISMRM Co-Provided Workshop 2025 on Cutting Edge Imaging of Cardiac Microstructure, Motion, and Strain is now live. Many thanks to Rachel Schuster and Rachael Terseck for putting this together. All are welcome to submit abstracts for the main SCMR 2025 conference and/or the SCMR/ISMRM Co-Provided Workshop via the main submission page. Abstract submission closes September 5th 2024. Attendees may register for either (i) the main conference that includes the workshop, or (ii) the workshop only. 

 

 

In ongoing news, we are working with the 20+ sites who had expressed interest to participate in the multi-centre study to setup the sequences and logistics for the study. We now have both SE and STEAM sequences available to sites running on Philips and Siemens scanners and are in final stages of refining imaging protocols and SOPs. We thank all sites for engaging and working with us to make this study happen. 

 

Our next SIG meeting is scheduled for 12 Sep 2024 (Thu), 8.00 – 9.30pm (PST) / 11.00 – 12.30pm (EST) / 3.00 – 4.30pm (UTC) via Zoom. Please find the meeting link below. The agenda will include updates on the multi-centre study, SCMR/ISMRM Co-Provided Workshop, governance, education, archive and communications. All are welcome to join the meeting. We encourage sites participating in the multi-centre study to attend the meeting to receive updates and to ask questions.
