UNMET CLINICAL NEED CHALLENGE

Do you encounter challenges in MRI that current solutions just don’t fully address? Here’s your chance to collaborate with top researchers to find innovative solutions to the MRI issues impacting your practice.

We’re launching the Unmet Clinical Needs Challenge, a unique opportunity for clinicians to pitch real-world MRI problems directly to researchers who can work toward developing solutions.

Clinicians will present their unmet clinical need on a poster and the selected winner will present live at the 2025 meeting. Researchers will take these challenges forward, developing innovative solutions to present at the 2026 meeting. A prize awaits the winner with the best clinical unmet need: a budget of 750 euros to spend on either ISMRM or ESMRMB. Submit your entry by December 24th (23:59 CET)!
