In spring 2010, MR scientists and clinicians will gather in Stockholm for the ISMRM/ESMRMB meeting taking place May 1^st-7^th. While being in Scandinavia, we encourage those with special interest in ultra-high field MRI studies to take the opportunity to stop in Copenhagen on the way home for a 1½ day symposium. The focus will be on scientific and clinical applications of MR in humans at magnetic fields of 7 tesla and above.

The meeting in Stockholm ends at noon May 7^th and the meeting in Copenhagen starts the following day, also at noon. This gives you the possibility to enjoy the Scandinavian atmosphere in Stockholm and/or Copenhagen between the two meetings. The Stockholm-Copenhagen flight takes one hour only. There are several departures every day.

Speakers
We are proud to present some of the most outstanding experts in the field of ultra-high field imaging applications. Preliminary list of confirmed speakers:

• Marta Bianciardi, NIH, USA: Spontaneous signal fluctuations in human fMRI at high magnetic fields.
• Fernando E. Boada, University of Pittsburg, USA: Monitoring Ion Homeostasis with Sodium MRI (sMRI).
• Jeff Duyn, NIH, USA: Anatomical MRI based on magnetic susceptibility contrast.
• Rolf Gruetter, University of Lausanne, Switzerland. In vivo metabolism studies at ultra-high field.
• Mark Ladd, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany. Advances in Ultra-High Field Body Imaging
• Sarah J. Nelson, University of California, San Francisco, USA: Clinical applications at ultra-high field.
• Oliver Speck, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg, Germany: Towards fMRI of subcortical structures at high field.
• Siegfried Trattnig, Medical University of Vienna, Austria: High resolution morphological, compositional and metabolic imaging in the musculoskeletal system by ultra-high field.
• Robert Turner, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany: Multimodal fMRI
• Kamil Ugurbil, University of Minnesota, USA: fMRI of the visual system at ultra-high field
• Lawrence Wald, Massachusetts General Hospital, USA: Control of CBF at the laminar level.

Venue
The meeting is held at the remarkably pleasant Helene Elsass Centre situated beautifully just north of the Danish Capital Copenhagen (map). Connections from central Copenhagen to Ordrup station are good (trains every 10 minutes, duration 20 minutes, 5 minutes walk to  the venue).

Registration
The attendance fee is EUR 150. Further information and online registration is at http://www.drcmr.dk/UHF2010
