The @ISMRM virtual program is now live! 🙌🏽 Over the next 2 weeks we will be showcasing some exciting educational talks, platform presentations and digital posters from our microteam #ISMRM20

To end our 2-week highlight of microCUBRIC #ISMRM20 presentations, check out Sila Genc's (@drsilagenc) oral in the Pediatric Neuro session: "Uncovering regional maturation of axon diameter across child and adolescent brain development" Talk: https://t.co/kjUagM1FGK

Next up, abstract #1566 by Chiara Casella (@ChiaraCasella11) #ISMRM20 "Drumming training induces myelin remodelling in Huntington’s disease (HD): a diffusion MRI and quantitative magnetization transfer study" Poster: https://t.co/IkEwNUbitj (2/2)

Today we showcase #ISMRM20 abstract #3169 by Chiara Casella (@ChiaraCasella11)! "Exploring the anatomical variability in the precision of frequency difference mapping in the corpus callosum at 7T" Poster: https://t.co/ax8Yzt5IyI (1/2)

@CUBRICcardiff

@ChantalTax88 and colleagues interfaced a tiltable receive coil with an ultra-strong gradient MRI scanner to study compartmental orientation-dependence in T2-diffusion correlation experiments.

T2 in white matter can vary with head-orientation in the scanner, potentially adding variability in analysis but also yielding valuable #microstructural information.

Incorporating #T2-orientational dependence into #diffusion-T2 correlation experiments using a tiltable coil by @ChantalTax88 @LNAkleban (#0735) Video link: https://t.co/xyIsyu2ARr #ISMRM20 Session: Diffusion #Microstructure Modeling & Validation

How can #diffusion MRI be sensitive to #microstructure if we have mm-sized voxels? Can smaller voxels solve the crossing fibre problem? Tune in on Sunday the 9th during the Diffusion: Micro & Macro session @ISMRM to find out!

Next on your list is Chantal Tax (@ChantalTax88)'s educational entitled "More #Diffusion, Less Confusion!" This #ISMRM20 educational discusses 8 common confusions in diffusion #MRI! Video link: https://t.co/AHpr1jwyPc

Here, @molendowska_m investigates radius estimation precision of the spherical cells for different radius-diffusivity combinations, SNR scenarios, and protocols. Session: Diffusion #Microstructure

Kickoff for #ISMRM20 is in less than a week! Today we suggest Malwina (@molendowska_m)'s poster #4431: "Varying the frequency-content of high b-value spherical #diffusion encoding can improve the characterisation of isotropic compartments" Poster link: https://t.co/rQVph2sv0A

En route towards #ISMRM20, today we showcase abstract #0099 by Maxime Chamberland (@MaxChamb): "Highlighting tract-specific microstructural abnormalities in single subjects using autoencoders" as part of the #Pediatric High-End Innovations session. Talk: https://t.co/3jlFV6fYO0

To end your week on a high, check out @EmreKopanoglu's #ISMRM20 abstract "Simultaneous multi-slice imaging reduces sensitivity of local-SAR to patient motion at 7T" where he studies if patient motion causes increases in patient heating Link: https://t.co/zkWahJdEhn Poster #3691

For your daily dose of #MRS, check out Christopher Jenkins' (@C_Jenkins_MRS) #ISMRM20 abstract “Practical considerations of DW-MRS with ultra-strong diffusion gradients” presenting initial data acquired with DW-PRESS Link: https://t.co/EuieKpDl6L Poster #4307

Next up on your #ISMRM20 list is Jude's (@drjudeharrison) recent work entitled "Pathway-specific polygenic scores for Alzheimer’s disease are associated with multi-modal structural #brain imaging markers in young adults" (#1457) Video link: https://t.co/zrZR3kS2py
