Overview
MRI value can be expanded when combined with other modalities, tools, or devices. Although appealing, this raises numerous questions in particular when it comes to safety and standard practice to validate new tools.
This session proposes to showcase current state-of-the-art approaches where MRI is part of a whole and discuss their implications.

Target Audience
Physicists and Engineers.
