2 nd <strong>Tübingen</strong> <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong> <strong>Workshop</strong><br />
Science – Technology – Application – Workfl ow<br />
April 8 - April 12, 2013
Invitation<br />
Dear Colleagues,<br />
Following the successful 1st <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong> <strong>workshop</strong> in 2012 we agreed to start<br />
an annual follow-up series of this educational event in <strong>Tübingen</strong>. Therefore,<br />
we like to invite you to the 2nd <strong>workshop</strong> on <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong> in <strong>Tübingen</strong> in spring<br />
2013. This <strong>workshop</strong> will provide a platform to exchange experiences and<br />
ideas among representatives from complementary imaging and clinical disciplines<br />
as well as colleagues with extensive competence in <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong>.<br />
We have succeeded in securing patronage of the World Molecular Imaging<br />
Society (WMIS), the European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI), the German<br />
Societies of Nuclear Medicine (DGN) and Radiology (DRG). The proceedings<br />
of this <strong>workshop</strong> will be published during a summit of the next World<br />
Molecular Imaging Conference (WMIC) in 2013 in Savannah, Georgia, USA.<br />
We are looking forward to welcoming you in <strong>Tübingen</strong> to shape the<br />
future of <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong>I together.<br />

• GRAND ROUNDS (Scientifi c Lectures)<br />
to be given by designated experts who cover a spectrum of topics ranging<br />
from imaging instrumentation, clinical protocols and translational research.<br />
• TUTORIALS<br />
to provide basic and advanced know-how to scientists / students in small,<br />
interactive groups. Topics: <strong>MR</strong>I, <strong>PET</strong>, <strong>PET</strong>/CT, and <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong>.<br />
• DIALOGUE BOARDS <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong><br />
to share experiences among clinicians and scientists with extensive competence<br />
in the fi eld of <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong>. Each session is divided in 2-3 short presentations<br />
given by key experts and a subsequent discussion. Topics: fi rst results<br />
from clinical trials - oncology, neurology, key applications, correction<br />
methods, quantifi cation, evaluation > standardization?, <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong> workfl ow<br />
optimization. The discussions will be summarized in the plenary sessions<br />
on the last day of the meeting.<br />
• HANDS-ON<br />
to observe and practice selected aspects of patient imaging using <strong>MR</strong>I,<br />

the fi eld of <strong>PET</strong>/<strong>MR</strong>. Clinical case review with experts. Extended in-depth<br />
course on <strong>PET</strong>- and <strong>MR</strong>I-modeling.<br />
• ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSIONS<br />
to be held in a larger auditorium addressing various urgent needs. Each<br />
round-table discussion will be opened by a brief impulse paper given<br />
by key experts. Topics: reimbursement policies and costs, data-handling<br />
and storage dynamic imaging, tracer development and tracer doses. The<br />
discussions will be summarized in the plenary sessions on the last day of<br />
the meeting.<br />

Program<br />
Teaching lectures, dialogue boards, hands-on-training and round-table<br />
discussions are organized in parallel sessions (attendees can sign in at<br />
registration based on their interest). This helps to split the participants in<br />
sub-groups with ideally not more than 15-20 people. The tutorials and<br />
most of the hands-on sessions will be offered several times per week.<br />
