Our three research groups were at the 24th annual meeting of the DS-ISMRM e.V. in Aachen! The German Section is officially recognised as part of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and represents its interests in German-speaking countries. At this year’s meeting, 15 exciting contributions from our groups were presented to an expert audience as posters or talks. In addition to many members from the AGs, five students from the MR 1 lecture (teaching) also attended the event and gained interesting insights into a scientific symposium.

Particularly notable is the success of Dr. Elisabeth Preuhs, who won second place in the Gorter Prize 2022.
The DS-ISMRM has been awarding this prize for outstanding work by young scientists from medicine or a natural science since 2005. Among the finalists, Elisabeth Preuhs from the group of Prof. Dr. Andreas Maier was able to convincingly prevail with her work “Deep learning for an efficient and quantitative reconstruction of multidimensional magnetic resonance fingerprinting data”. In her talk, she presented two projects from her doctorate in which artificial intelligence is used for MRI fingerprinting and in the field of cardiac imaging.

Christian Eisen achieved another success for Erlangen!
He won the audience-voted presentation prize at this year’s conference. Christian Eisen from Prof. Dr. Armin Nagel’s group is working on a dynamic fat saturation method to compensate for subject- or patient-specific field inhomogeneities through an individual pulse design. This should further improve clinical MRI measurements for patients in radiology at the University Hospital in Erlangen.
