This workshop will focus on developments in low field magnetic resonance. Developments include but are not limited to magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy/imaging, single sided magnet designs, and applications in industry such as oil rock/well analysis and medical/clinical applications.
Workshop goals:
- Find a consensus on the state of low-field magnetic resonance
- Develop a roadmap for low-field magnetic resonance progress
- Identify scientific areas where low-field can have the greatest impact
- Identify barriers to progress that must be overcome to reach full adoption of low-field MR into the clinic and how NIST can aid in addressing these
