AJR Live Webinar

Rapid Musculoskeletal MRI in 2026

Speakers: Jan Vosshenrich, MD and Jan Fritz, MD
Moderator: Eric Y Chang, MD

In this webinar, Drs. Vosshenrich and Fritz will review the technical principles, clinical integration, and operational strategies of deep learning (DL)-based image reconstruction in rapid musculoskeletal (MSK) MRI. While traditional acceleration methods are limited by noise and artifacts, DL frameworks enable comprehensive, sub-10-minute protocols across multiple field strengths and vendor platforms while maintaining high diagnostic performance. Attendees will explore the application of these techniques across peripheral joints, central joints, and the spine, noting how variations in coil geometry and baseline signal-to-noise ratios affect acceleration potential. The session also addresses the key operational considerations (including workflow redesign, scheduling logistics, and infrastructure modifications) required to successfully translate reduced scan times into measurable clinical efficiency.
