Conference Description
The In Vivo Ultrasound Imaging GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The 2024 Gordon Conference on In Vivo Ultrasound Imaging will present the latest clinical and pre-clinical ultrasound imaging technologies, discoveries, and image guided therapy developments. The Conference will feature a wide range of ultrasound topics including wearable devices, applications of machine learning, imaging and therapy in immunotherapy, contrast-enhanced imaging, lung imaging, neuromodulation, and novel therapy applications.
The conference is intended to foster deep discussion of the latest advances in ultrasound imaging and therapy by bringing together investigators who are at the forefront of their field, while also providing opportunities for junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format and exchange ideas with research leaders and mentors. To promote deeper discussions of these topics, the Conference will include programmed discussion sessions, opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, poster sessions, and shared meals in a common location. The multidisciplinary format and ability to maximize information transfer with the Conference format represents an ideal venue for promoting in-depth discussions, building community, and addressing core questions across a broad spectrum of scientific questions related to In Vivo Ultrasound Imaging.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by April 27, 2024. Please check back for updates.
