So passes Tuesday. Two sessions and an impromtue poster-manning. The conference continues to be pretty good. I started with the diffusion pulse sequences session, which opened with a delightful debate on k-space vs q-space. Derek appeared to win through the medium of home movies, which was impressive and unexpected.
Pulse sequence design is a bit out of my comfort-zone, but there was a very interesting talk on accelerating radial q-space acquisitions via undersampling image space and interpolating. It appears to provide a sic-fold increase in speed and a slight increase in SNR, which seems a little like voodoo, but is nonetheless worth investigating.
An electrical fault with the trains meant that instead of vanishing for lunch I was marooned at the conference centre and so I made my way tot he poster hall. This turned out to be a pretty good idea as finding out times for traditional posters is quite tricky. Couple of interesting chats with people.
The last session was diffusion, modelling and biophysics. Some really great stuff here: simulations of beading using some pathetic excuse of a simulation, Els presented some nice work on simulating exchange and validating the Karger equations. Good stuff.
