Last weekend the KSMRM PhD workshop was held in KBSI in Ochang, the same place as last year. This time the participants were limited to PhDs and the talks were generally lengthier. Even without students there were a good number of participants to make the sessions feel well-attended and well-prepared. The first day had sessions organized by Molecular Imaging study group and the Advanced MRI study group, and the MR Engineering session was held on the second day. For the lab, the MRE session was particularly useful and relevant, featuring RF technologies for ultra-high field MRI, presented by 3 speakers from the 3 institutes currently having a 7T human scanner in Korea.
