Plenary lecture

This talk will focus on diffusion NMR and MRI, which sensitises the signal to the molecular motion of water molecules. This technique can provide endogenous contrast to the microstructure of tissue. Diffusion encoding is done through applying additional field gradients, and the last decade has shown key developments in gradient hardware for more efficient encoding. The opportunities and...

Plenary lecture

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of medical conditions and risk factors correlating with insulin resistance that, when occurring together in an individual, increase the risk of developing life hazardous cardiometabolic health problems. The specific criteria for diagnosing MetS are challenging and vary among different medical organizations but are typically based on the evaluation of...
