The pre-conference day on “Microstructural Imaging” explores cutting-edge techniques and applications in the field. Attendees will learn about advanced numerical simulation for modelling complex tissue microenvironments, as well as diffusion MRI for probing tissue microstructure through water diffusion patterns. The program also covers relaxation MRI for assessing tissue composition based on T1/T2 properties and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) for studying magnetic tissue properties. Additionally, the workshop highlights high-resolution microscopy integration with MRI, emerging insights into neuro-fluids (cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and glymphatic system function), and innovative diffusion functional MRI (dfMRI) for mapping neural activity via diffusion-based contrasts. Through lectures, and an hands-on session, and interdisciplinary discussions, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how these methods enhance the study of tissue microstructure in health and disease.

Scientific Program Chair: Eliana Gianolio, Turin (IT)

After an extraordinary year of achievements, it is our pleasure to invite you to the 10th ESMRMB-GREC meeting, to be held in Marseille, France, during the ESMRMB Pre-Congress day.

Introduction:

This meeting is designed as a unique context aimed at sharing ideas and data on MRI contrast agents research and possible gadolinium toxicity after the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA). Joint international efforts will remain essential to optimize diagnostic efficacy and improve patient safety in MR imaging. Since 2016, the ESMRMB-GREC has adapted the contents of the discussion to current hot topics and has continuously improved its influence on the clinical and pre-clinical role of gadolinium-based contrast agents.

This 10th GREC meeting will cover topics related to the four missions of the group: 1. Clinical indications and optimal use of GBCA-enhanced MRI; 2. The chemistry of improved MRI contrast agents; 3. Optimizing contrast-enhanced MRI, including Artificial Intelligence; 4. Emissions and ecotoxicological effects of GBCA in the marine environment.

As a working group of experts with multidisciplinary background, we support the MR community with continuous education, information and scientific updates on the use and clinical applications of GBCA.
