Harmonization Workshop: Exploring Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)
On March 21, 2025, a harmonization workshop focusing on Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) was organized by Frederik Laun and Guillaume Flé (Institute of Radiology, University Hospital Erlangen). The event was supported by Philipp Jeßberger, a master’s student from Guillaume Flé’s research group.
The workshop took place in the afternoon at the Zentrum für Medizinische Physik und Technik (ZMPT). Participants were divided into four groups, each consisting of five to six members. The program started with an introductory talk by Guillaume Flé, who provided an engaging overview of the principles and applications of MRE. The session was highly interactive, with participants actively discussing the presented concepts.
Following the theoretical introduction, the groups moved to a hands-on session led by Frederik Laun and Philipp Jeßberger. Participants were introduced to the MRE setup installed at the Cima.X scanner of the host institute. In addition to the specialized MRE equipment, the scanner itself was presented and explained, allowing participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of the imaging technology and its implementation.
This workshop is part of an ongoing series designed to help consortium members—particularly doctoral students—expand their knowledge in the diverse research fields represented within the EBM consortium.
