Study Groups: Metabolomics & Metabolomic Imaging (MMI)

Mission

1. Establish an all-inclusive forum for clinicians, scientists, clinical and medical physicists, engineers, and data experts within ISMRM to discuss the unmet needs and further advance the technology using their respective expertise;
2. Develop connections and collaborations between MMI members with medical imaging and metabolomics communities outside of ISMRM;
3. Evaluate the state of MMI in medicine and provide standardized recommendations for every stage of MMI evaluations including data measurements and analyses, as well quality assurance and controls;
4. Facilitate technical developments, methodological consensus, and disease applications through MMI organized workshops and symposiums to bring impactful clinical investigations and translations;
5. Disseminate MMI knowledge to all members of ISMRM through the annual meeting;
6. Coordinate with other ISMRM study groups to incorporate MMI into radiomics efforts; and
7. Foster development of the next generation of MMI experts through programming and activities targeted to ISMRM trainees.
