Advancing Beyond Limits: Temporal, Quantitative, Functional, and Translational

The 2026 program will highlight transformative developments that are expanding the frontiers of MR in temporal and spatial resolution, quantitative mapping, and impactful translational applications. Sessions will explore advances in contrast agents, novel hardware and encoding, approaches, deep-learning driven MRI, and innovative open science initiatives. In addition to research pushing the spatial resolution of structural and functional imaging, we will focus on extending functional MRI beyond the human brain, and with new stimulation techniques. Fresh efforts to quantify electromagnetic tissue properties and to advance spectroscopic and non-proton MR techniques and applications will showcase the breadth of innovation transforming the field.

The conference will feature thought leaders and pioneering scientists from across academia, industry, and clinical domains. Early-career scientists are especially encouraged to participate, and to join the trainee-led and tailored Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) just before the main conference. This GRC is a unique opportunity aiming to inspire and catalyze new ideas that will shape the future of in vivo MR.
