	13:15		The Journey of an MRI Technologist's Life from South Africa View the Presentation Patricia Maishi, Patricia Maishi I am currently employed as a Senior Magnetic Resonance Imaging radiographer at the Cape Universities Body Imaging Centre – University of Cape Town (CUBIC- UCT), in South Africa. CUBIC is a leading medical imaging research facility with the vision to focus on problems specific to SA and the African continent. This is where I was first Introduced to MRI, research and clinical, which provided inspiration and impetus to further my studies. I am currently enrolled for Master’s in radiographer degree, investigating: “Impact of Pericardial and Paracardiac Fat on the Cardiovascular Structure and Function in HIV Infected Person: A CMR Study”.

	14:15		The Journey of an MRI Technologist's Life from Japan Video Unavailable Yasuo Takatsu This lecture is an introduction to the outline of Japanese MRI Technologist. That is, most Japanese MRI technologist work in hospitals as a radiological technologist. Clinical MRI examinations in Japan are very popular; therefore, almost all MRI technologist in hospital are very busy. MRI Technologists’ academic activities are joining the association, congress, and submitting the papers. I introduce the Japanese MR research including my study. Fujita Health University is just starting new initiatives. “Cooperation between the university and the affiliated hospital”. I strongly hope that Japanese MRI Technologists will continue research that can contribute to medical treatment.
