The 8th Annual Meeting of the Asian Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ASMRM 2026) Held in Conjunction with JSMRM 2026
2026-10-17
Welcome Message
We are pleased to announce that the
8th Annual Meeting of the Asian Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
(ASMRM 2026) will be held jointly with the
54th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Magnetic Resonance in
Medicine (JSMRM)
from
October 16 to 18, 2026, at SHIROYAMA HOTEL Kagoshima, Kagoshima, Japan.
The Asian Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ASMRM) is an
international academic organization dedicated to advancing scientific and
technological developments in magnetic resonance medicine through
collaboration among clinicians, researchers, and technologists throughout
Asia. The Society currently comprises six countries and/or regions: Korea,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and Japan.
The ASMRM has committed to expanding its activities and harnessing the
collective strengths of the Asian magnetic resonance community to accelerate
innovation and amplify the global impact of scientific advances originating in
Asia. The 2026 meeting in Japan marks the 8th Annual Meeting of ASMRM. As the
host society, we sincerely hope that this congress will further strengthen the
close communication and friendship that have long characterized our community,
inspire new scientific collaborations, and serve as an important milestone in
the continued growth of ASMRM. We are confident that the partnerships forged
and the scientific achievements shared during this meeting will help shape the
future of magnetic resonance medicine throughout Asia and beyond.
The scientific program will feature two major sessions. The first is an
International Symposium, bringing together
six distinguished speakers to discuss the quantification and clinical
applications of MRI imaging biomarkers. The symposium will focus on the
reliable quantification of MR signals and contrast enhancement using advanced
imaging techniques, both with and without contrast agents, highlighting their
roles in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research. The second is the Young
Investigator Award (YIA) Session, which is designed to encourage and recognize
the achievements of emerging researchers. This session will showcase
innovative, interdisciplinary research conducted by the next generation of
scientists and clinicians, fostering future leaders in the field of magnetic
resonance imaging.
We warmly welcome your participation and look forward to welcoming colleagues
from across Asia and around the world to this exciting scientific gathering.
Sincerely,
Masaya Takahashi, Ph.D.
