In Vivo applications of Magnetic Resonance (MR) continue to grow owing to technical advancements in several key domains of MR technology, including ultra-high magnetic field instrumentation, gradient and radio-frequency coils, image processing algorithms as well as contrast agents. All these advancements further promote MR as the most powerful single imaging modality to study living systems, spanning from anatomy and metabolic functions to detection and characterization of disease processes, and on spatial scales from individual cells to whole organs. The research field of in vivo MR is inherently interdisciplinary, bringing together scientists with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and medicine. This conference focuses on the latest developments in both MR methodology and applications, providing a unique venue for exchanging ideas and developing collaborations. Young investigators and students are particularly encouraged to apply. In addition to the invited talks and poster presentations, the Hot Topics presentations - selected from the submitted abstracts - provide for inclusion of late-breaking developments. Topics to-be-covered include, but are not limited to: novel approaches for creating, detecting, and localizing the MR signal; applications of in vivo spectroscopy in disease and basic studies of metabolism; physical, chemical and biological mechanisms that affect the MR signal in vivo; development of new agents and approaches for manipulating the MR signal and contrast; functional MRI to study activation, blood flow and metabolism; and cellular function, from metabolism to gene expression to migration.
