First Circular - Conference on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy

First Announcement

5th International Conference on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy

German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Sept. 5 - 9, 1999

We are pleased to announce this event as the continuation of the biannual series of international conferences on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy. After being held in Albuquerque, New Mexico (1997) and Würzburg, Germany (1995), the meeting returns in 1999 to its birthplace, the pictoresque city of Heidelberg in the province of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany, where it was held in 1991 and 1993.
Venue:: The venue will utilize the state-of-the-art communication center of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), which offers a 300-seat auditorium, an attractive atrium/foyer for up to ca. 100 Posters, adjacent seminar rooms for use by MR vendors, and a pleasant cafeteria for reenergizing between the rigorous scientific sessions.
Scope:: The scope of the conference is to provide a congenial forum for discussion of the most recent advances in NMR and EPR techniques for imaging and localized spectroscopy and their applications to various topics of chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine, as well as materials and earth sciences. A wide range of spatial resolutions ranging from microns to centimeters will be covered.

The meeting will begin with a weekend educational program which will cover a variety of technical aspects of MR imaging and applications. The scientific program will include invited plenary lectures as well as oral and poster contributions selected from submitted abstracts. Commercial MR vendors are cordially invited to display and demonstrate new advances in MR instrumentation, pulse sequences, and data processing/analysis tools. Of course, there will also be time for cultural activities and a conference banquet.

Topics planned for the scientific program include:

Methods of NMR Microscopy and EPR Imaging

NMR and EPR Technology

Applications of MR Microscopy in: Materials and Earth Sciences, Pharmaceutical Research, Plant Physiology, Animal Research, Gene Technology, Medicine.
