7T Translational Alliance of North America (TANA) 3rd Annual Meeting

Clinical Advances & Technical Challenges

When: July 14-15, 2025

Where: T. Boone Pickens Biomedical Building, NG3.112 Auditorium

The mission of 7T TANA is to translate the powerful imaging capabilities of 7 Tesla MRI to real-life benefits for patients, healthcare providers, and researchers in North America and worldwide. The meeting will discuss clinical advances and technical challenges to precipitate clinical translation and to facilitate the standardization of imaging protocols and sharing of data and expertise. The event includes poster presentations and opportunities to interact with vendors and industry partners.
