The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scientists and clinicians interested in technical research and application-oriented innovations in perfusion MRI. With the theme "Perfusion MRI: From Head to Toe," the workshop strives to highlight the increasing breadth of the field and present a unifying perspective that will facilitate a transfer of expertise. Each body area presents its particular challenges, but there is also a strong common basis. Notably, the last Perfusion workshop was held in 2012.Ī significant development over the ten years since the last ISMRM perfusion workshop is the expansion of the field beyond the brain and into other organs of the body, with considerable activity in cancer applications (for instance, breast and prostate) and in the heart, but increasingly also in other tissues such as liver, kidneys, lung, pancreas, spleen, or muscle. Standardization efforts are also ongoing through several consortia. Perfusion MRI is increasingly used as a diagnostic marker in many diseases throughout the body, allowed by considerable technical advances that have been made in the past decade.
