As a result of attending this session the participants will be able to 1. Describe how Focus Ultrasound works
2. Understand how MRgFUS is used clinically to treat focal prostate cancer
3. Learn the impact of innovative advancement in IOpMRI using tractography in the interventional practice

	08:30		High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Prostate Cancer View the Presentation Clare Tempany-Afdhal
	09:00		Neurosurgical Perspective of Advances of Care Using IOpMRI & Tractography Video Unavailable Joseph Yang The availability of intraoperative MRI (IOpMRI), and diffusion MRI tractography for presurgical planning and intraoperative image guidance have transformed modern neurosurgical practice. Despite so, the imaging techniques utilised clinically often lag behind rapid advances in MRI hardware, and diffusion MRI methods. Thus, clinical translation requires a cautious approach, and a fundamental awareness of such evidence-practice gap. This talk will review the clinical utility of integrating IOpMRI and tractography in neurosurgical practice. Clinical examples will be used to demonstrate the clinical utilities, to highlight the practical nuances and the related clinical impact by showcasing successful surgical outcomes with functional preservation.
	09:30		MRI guided abdominal interventions View the Presentation Frank Wacker, Bennet Hensen The goal of this presentation is, to discuss potential applications for MRI guided procedures in the abdomen and to provide different solutions to make such procedures a clinical reality.
