I delivered three talks on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The Wednesday talk was as a substitute speaker for Prof. Jang-Yeon Park, on the basics of MRI, in particular on the k-space. The talks are all recorded for later views for the meeting registrants. For example, the educational talk is at https://ismrm2025.blazestreaming.com/sessions/ismrm-2025-w-04 (Starting at 40 min mark).
Thanks to the remote registration option, even on-site attendees can now watch most oral sessions from the hotel room, with the benefit of unobstructed, high-resolution view of all the slides. So if one is not particularly interested in seeing the speaker, nor in asking live questions, this was a handsome option not only for convenience but also for quick hopping among many parallel sessions.
One caveat for my future reference: Uploaded talk slides may have automatic slide advance turned on -- make sure this be turned off.
On the exhibition floor, Chinese companies are clearly gaining ground, with one company displaying an impressive model of rotating whole-body 1.5 T scanner for multi-orientation scans. Notably, Hyperfine missed the show, presumably for financial reasons. To all who I met in person in Honolulu this week, thank you for your kind greetings, and my best wishes!
