Fraunhofer MEVIS @ ISBI 2026

The IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) is a scientific conference focused on mathematical, algorithmic, and computational aspects of biological and biomedical imaging at all scales. It promotes knowledge exchange between different imaging communities and supports an integrated approach to biomedical imaging.
ISBI is jointly organized by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the IEEE Engineering Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). The 2026 conference will take place in London, UK. The program will include tutorials, workshops, plenary talks, special sessions, challenges, as well as oral and poster presentations of peer-reviewed papers.

Fraunhofer MEVIS is represented this year with the following contribution:

Tutorial

"From Sequence Diagrams to Medical Images – A Comprehensive and Interactive Tutorial on Image Formation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging"

(Authors: Jörn Huber, Nora-Josefin Breutigam, Matthias Günther, Daniel Christopher Hoinkiss)

Presenters: Jörn Huber, Arne Neisser

Wednesday | April 8, 2026 | 8:30 – 12:00

The tutorial aims to provide a comprehensive experience of different aspects of image formation in magnetic resonance imaging. Participants learn about different types of MR sequences and their respective adjustments using the interactive gammaSTAR framework [1]. Through a built-in MR simulator and image reconstruction framework, the effects of changing various protocol parameters on generated images are directly experienced and potential sources of image artefacts are revealed. The interactive session is accompanied by in-depth slides describing the process of image reconstruction from the simulated raw data.
