Dear colleagues and friends,

building on the tradition of the biennial Interventional MRI Symposium and the last meeting in Boston in 2018, we would like to cordially invite you to the series' 13th edition, iMRI 2022, to be held in Leipzig, Germany. This event is jointly organized by the University of Leipzig, the Department of Radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston, and the Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore – in close cooperation with Hannover Medical School, the University of Magdeburg, Germany and Emory Healthcare, Atlanta.

The iMRI Symposium provides an ideal platform for researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals alike to present their latest results and interact with opinion leaders and innovators in the field. Sessions with both technical and clinical topics will be composed of short lectures by invited speakers and proffered scientific papers. We therefore encourage everybody involved in or dedicated to Interventional MRI to submit an abstract of their work. The meeting is endorsed by the ISMRM (International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine) and the ESMRMB (European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology) and supported by the Ferenc Jolesz National Center for Image Guided Therapy (NCIGT) at Harvard Medical School.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Leipzig!
