The 2023 International Workshop on Pulmonary Imaging

February 23–25, 2023

Welcome to the 2023 International Workshop on Pulmonary Imaging. As is always the case at this multidisciplinary meeting, we have worked hard to include presenters who are able to speak authoritatively on a wide range of current topics—from lung physiology and mechanics to pulmonary imaging techniques, IPF, and recent advancements in hyperpolarization technology. This year, for this first time, we have also included sessions dedicated to photon-counting CT and pre-COPD.

The program is divided into 17 sessions consisting of more than 65 total presentations split between keynote lectures, presentations from leading researchers in pulmonary imaging, rising stars in the field, as well as a number of shorter presentations from postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Presentations in each session are typically organized around an underlying method or concept. While the discussion periods at the end of each session are limited by time constraints, we hope that the numerous breaks between sessions will allow meeting participants to engage in further, informal conversation about the presentations.

Again, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to this meeting.
