This year, we are grateful for the safe return of in-person events to present and share research, developments and innovations related to radiology and biomedical imaging. This includes the annual Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MRI Technology Development Workshop hosted by the NIH-funded UCSF Hyperpolarized MRI Technology Resource Center (HMTRC) which took place at Genentech Hall, UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay on March 17 and 18, 2022.
“We’ve seen through numerous studies the potential of hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI to advance scientific investigation and patient care, but this emerging molecular imaging method requires major technological development to realize its full potential,” says Daniel Vigneron, PhD, professor and HMTRC director. “This was one of the motivations for creating the center and each year, the workshop gives us a chance to share knowledge, provide…
