NYU at ISMRM 2015

The NYU delegation presented over 100 abstracts, in areas as diverse as RF coil design, MR safety, Diffusion, MR Fingerprinting, and many more.

NYU scientists led ten educational sessions, sharing expertise on ultra-high-field MRI, non-cartesian reconstruction, and mapping collagen structure, among others.

Three NYU post-doctoral researchers have been named ISMRM Junior Fellows: Cem Murat Deniz, Jelle Veraart, and Li Feng. According to letters from ISMRM President Jeffrey Neil, junior fellows have impressed the committee with their "track record, academic potential, and commitment." The award matches post-docs with senior ISMRM fellows in mentorships, and invites junior fellows to participate in committees.
