Mark Widmaier received the 1st Place Award Trainee Award (Preprint: lnkd.in/ekH56N69) in the #Metabolomics & #Metabolic Imaging (MMI) Study Group at @ismrm.bsky.social #ISMRM2026 in Cape Town — and congratulations to Mark Widmaier #PETALUTE #MRSI #MRI

#PETALUTE highlighted in the #ISMRM2026 #MRS Study Group “Highlights in #MRS ” session at the The multi-site feasibility and reproducibility of #PETALUTE #MRSI #MRI using a novel rosette trajectory was selected among the featured studies of 2025–2026. @ismrm.bsky.social

Very grateful to all members in the team who contributed to this work over the years. We hope multimodal approaches continue to open new opportunities for understanding how neurochemical dynamics relate to whole-brain fMRI activity. www.nature.com/nprot/volume...

It is time to consider the role and scope of all 1H MRSI efforts, particularly given that Dr. Liang and his team have already demonstrated strong leadership and excellence in this area. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
