OSIPI Newsletter Aug 2024

Updates to OSIPI two-year Roadmap

● OSIPI was accepted onto the google summer of code 2024 program, and was assigned 4 students to work on various projects over the summer. Details of the students and projects can be found here.

● In May, OSIPI Task Forces published 6 papers in MRM. A summary of these can be found here

● Call for new members: Interested in making perfusion imaging more accessible and reproducible? Fancy contributing to new guidelines or software? What a coincidence, we are looking for new members! Please feel free to contact us via ismrmosipi@gmail.com.

Best wishes,
