This meeting’s theme is integration and collaboration: between clinicians and physicists, between junior and senior researchers, and between the fundamental and applied sciences. New this year are two dedicated networking sessions. On Thursday afternoon you are all invited to meet some of the well-known colleagues in our field of MRI research. An excellent opportunity to meet the author of all those papers you’ve read in preparation of your thesis, or to exchange ideas with the more senior researchers in your field. If you’re looking for a research collaboration, we invite you to our Saturday morning session ‘Collaborations Café’. In addition to these dedicated networking opportunities and interactive scientific sessions, we present an educational programme highlighting both well-established and novel MRI techniques and applications. Of course, traditional highlights can again be found in the programme, such as the Sir Peter Mansfield Lecture, the Hot Topic Debate, and the Roundtable Discussion. Lunch is made available at the Industry sponsored symposia, and we do encourage you to also visit the technical exhibit displaying the latest products from the industrial and pharmaceutical companies in our field. The Local Organising Committee cordially invites you to the Welcome Party on Thursday evening, 1st October. Catch up with colleagues in the setting of the magnificent National Museum of Scotland, enjoy some refreshments, and watch out for a spectacular finale! Edinburgh is a vibrant city with stunning architecture including the mediaeval Old Town, the Georgian New Town, and of course its famous castle. A huge range of restaurants offers everything from simple local produce to Michelin-starred dining. If you have a day free after the conference then a visit to the mountains and lochs of the Scottish Highlands is a must. We would like to thank you all for your contributions and efforts to make this meeting a success. We wish you a very fruitful and enjoyable meeting here in Edinburgh. 3 Committees EXECUTIVE BOARD President Golay, Xavier, London/UK Past President Larsson, Elna-Marie, Uppsala/SE President Elect Achten, Rik, Ghent/BE Dugald Stewart Monument, Calton Hill Secretary & Director, School of MRI Trattnig, Siegfried, Vienna/AT Treasurer Felblinger, Jacques, Vandoeuvre/FR Membership Officer Knutsson, Linda, Lund/SE Education Officer Scheurer, Eva, Graz/AT Editor-in-Chief, MAGMA Cozzone, Patrick, Marseille/FR Director, Lectures on MR Scheffler, Klaus, Tübingen/DE Director, Hands on MRI Van der Lugt, Aad, Rotterdam/NL Director, Teach-the-Teacher Steinbrich, Wolfgang, Basel/CH Chairperson of the SPC 2015 Smits, Marion, Rotterdam/NL Chairperson of the LOC 2015 Marshall, Ian, Edinburgh/UK Chairperson of the SPC 2016 Kreis, Roland, Bern/CH 4 SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME COMMITTEE M.

The electronic supplement has been published on springerlink.com. It is available on all Springer servers worldwide, and can thus reach a huge audience. The digital object identifier (DOI) ensures that all abstracts of the ESMRMB 2015 meeting are fully citable in literature. Abstracts, Thursday, October 1, 2015 DOI: 10.1007/s10334-015-0487-2 Abstracts, Friday, October 2, 2015 DOI: 10.1007/s10334-015-0488-1 Abstracts, Saturday, October 3, 2015 DOI: 10.1007/s10334-015-0489-0 EPOS™ Poster, Paper Poster, Clinical Review Poster, Software Exhibits DOI: 10.1007/s10334-015-0490-7 Author Index DOI: 10.1007/s10334-015-0491-6 For environmental reasons ESMRMB has decided not to produce CD-ROMs or USB sticks. Instead, the complete electronic Book of Abstracts, the syllabus of the Teaching Sessions, the Industry Symposia Programme and the Exhibition Guide are available to all ESMRMB 2015 Congress participants for download at the ESMRMB website under: ESMRMB 2015 Congress – Download Congress Documents. EPOS™ All oral presentations which are also available as an electronic Poster in the EPOS™ electronic submission system are highlighted with a blue circle as “also available in EPOS”. You can search this presentation by the presentation number or the last name of the presenting author. EPOS™ posters without oral presentation are listed on pages 107 – 120. Hot Topic Debate The highly popular debate is continued also this year. Strong opponents have been selected for the Friday evening debate session on “MR in acute stroke - a waste of time?”. After each opponent has given a 15-minute statement, the audience is strongly encouraged to actively participate in the debate. Hot Topic Debate on “MR in acute stroke - a waste of time?” Friday, October 2, 17:20–18:20 Room Sidlaw Lightning Talks We would like to invite congress participants to join this year’s “Lightning Talks” where authors of designated EPOS and paper posters will briefly present their poster to the audience! During the last 30 minutes of each session the audience and authors will move to the EPOS and paper poster exhibition to “meet-the-authors” and get a more detailed presentation and be able to raise questions. 7 General Scientific Information Roundtable Discussion On Saturday, October 3 from 17:20 to 18:20, there will be a Roundtable Discussion on “Incidential findings” (Room Sidlaw). Scientific Poster Exhibition ESMRMB 2015 will again stage an electronic scientific exhibition, using EPOS™, the Electronic Presentation Online System. In addition to the electronic Posters, there will also be a scientific poster exhibition of 84 traditional paper posters and 11 clinical review posters, which will be mentioned in the respective abstract section of the Meeting Guide. Posters related to the 14 software exhibitions will also be displayed in the paper poster exhibition area! Sir Peter Mansfield Lecture The official opening will be on Thursday, October 1 at 09:10 in the main auditorium Pentland. The Sir Peter Mansfield Lecture entitled “Exciting moments in scientific research: from 31P NMR of live cells to revealing order in tissues by double-quantum filtered NMR” will be given by Professor Gil Navon (IL) and held right after the opening ceremony from 09:30–10:20 in the main auditorium.
