Who: Consensus Members. Those who are invited to participate in the 2024 Spring Consensus Survey. Invitations for the Consensus survey will be sent out by December 2023. Non-survey participants are also welcome to attend as space allows.

Consensus Meeting Details: At this meeting we will be reviewing the results from the Consensus Survey (planned to be released early 2024). We will first present the areas in which the survey results indicate a “consensus agreement”. Then we will review uncertain/disagreement topic areas. Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss and pitch their opinions on these areas. Invited survey members will then do a second round of consensus voting to see if we can reach a consensus on any of the topics discussed.

What to Bring: You will need to bring an electronic device capable of connecting to Google Documents and an online survey.

Who: Researchers and Leads who work with pre-clinical research studies.

Pre-clinical Meeting Details: Researchers and leads will meet to discuss several topics of pre-clinical interest. Tentative plans include presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and discussions involving preclinical equipment and tools such as: the SpinAligner and Bruker systems.

Who: Trainees, Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral Scholars

Trainee Meeting Details: Meet and greet with fellow Trainees who conduct HP C-13 MRI Research. During the event, we will do introductions and an optional 5-minute research power pitch. Following this we will review useful resources which are offered through the HMTRC and then end with group discussions involving HP C-13 research.

What to submit: If you participate in this pre-meeting event, we will collect slides due 1 month prior to the workshop if you are presenting a 5-minute research power pitch. More details to be released early 2024.

Talks: We invite abstract submissions focused on HP technology development (1 page or less) for oral presentations by academic or industry participants at the 2024 Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MRI Technology Development Workshop. We will try to accommodate your talk, but if not, these submissions can be presented during our poster sessions. Please submit your abstract title and brief description between Dec 20th – Jan 20th, 2024 by emailing [email protected].

Posters: We welcome poster presentations by any participants.
