Bruker MRI Award
Bruker is proud to once again host the annual Bruker MRI Award Ceremony at ISMRM 2027 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We are pleased to invite scientists to submit their research projects for consideration for the 2027 Bruker MRI Award.
Authors may submit one PowerPoint slide per study summarizing their research using the provided template. The deadline for submission is January 31, 2027.
Eligibility: Submitted work must have been conducted on a Bruker MRI system. This includes MRI systems equipped with magnets from third-party suppliers that utilize Bruker electronics and control systems. Additional imaging modalities used as part of the study may be from other vendors.
Recognition of the Winners
As part of our longstanding commitment to advancing preclinical imaging research, Bruker recognizes outstanding scientific contributions through the Bruker MRI Award.
