Reproducible qMRI using open-source pulse sequence programming
Patrick Schünke

Patrick studied physics in Heidelberg and did his masters and PhD (2017) at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) about Dynamic Glucose Enhanced MRI using Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) and T1rho/Spin-Lock MRI.
After a short PostDoc at the DKFZ he came to Berlin and joined Leif Schröders lab at the FMP in Buch, where he focused on Xenon HyperCEST and quantitative T1 mapping.
In 2020, he switched to the Quantitative MRI group of Christoph Kolbitsch at PTB, where he currently focuses on various qMRI techniques and especially their implementation and application using open-source MR pulse programming (Pulseq).

Shaping therapeutical acoustic images using acoustic holograms
Diana Andrés Bautista

Diana Andrés Bautista graduated in Physics in 2018 and obtained a Master's degree in Medical Physics in 2020, both from the Universitat de València. In October 2018 she obtained the Data Science Talent Program grant from Banco Santander in Madrid, where she worked for a year on the development of predictive models while pursuing a Master's degree in Big Data at the Escuela de Organización Industrial. In October 2019 she returned to Valencia to work on the generation of acoustic holograms applied to transcranial ultrasound therapies at the Institute of Instrumentation for Molecular Imaging (I3M) thanks to the CSIC JAE-Intro grant. Since September 2020, she has been pursuing her PhD studies in the same group with the FPU grant from the Ministry of Science and Universities, specializing in the development of metamaterials for the creation of precise acoustic holograms and the modelling of focused ultrasound beams through the skull and soft tissue. These techniques enable safe, non-invasive and non-ionising brain therapy and cancer treatment. During this period she has been collaborating with the Centro de Neurociencias de Madrid in the development and application of holograms for localized and monitored drug delivery in the brain, with the iCUBE of the Université d'Strasbourg / CNRS (France) for the development of ultrasound-induced thermal holograms and with the Institute of Cancer Research (UK) in the application of ultrasound to generate hyperthermia in a region of interest and apply it on different cancer models, where she did a research stay.

MRF based absolute B1+ mapping in the human body at 7T with low RF power
Lutz, Max

At 7T, RF amplifier restrictions are a major limitation to accurately map the absolute transmit magnetic field (B1+) in the human body. To overcome this, we investigate an absolute B1+ mapping method at low flip angles using magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). MRF based B1+ mapping shows more consistent results in regions of low B1+ amplitude compared to existing B1+ mapping methods. Motion robustness introduced by a radial acquisition scheme enables free-breathing measurements.
