5th MYO-MRI+ Imaging in Neuromuscular Disease Conference
Berlin, Germany
November 9th-11th, 2025
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the 5th MYO-MRI+ International Imaging in Neuromuscular Disease Conference (MYO-MRI+ 2025) at Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus, Berlin, Germany, November 9th-11th, 2025. This bi-annual event will bring together leading experts in the field of neuromuscular imaging and its application to neuromuscular disease, to share knowledge, network, and present cutting edge research in the field.
The Conference will not only highlight innovations in neuromuscular imaging technologies, but also their application in neuromuscular disease research and clinical practice. The main topics selected for MYO-MRI+ 2025 include:
- muscle MRI as an outcome measure
in clinical trials
- changing imaging diagnostic patterns in
muscular dystrophies
- emerging imaging techniques
For the last 4 editions, MYO-MRI+ Conference has provided a solid
platform for innovation, collaboration, and professional
development. For 2025, we aim to make the event even
more impactful by introducing a roundtable discussion
on “Unmet needs for pharmaceutical trials” focusing on
neuromuscular disease imaging approaches to improve
clinical trial outcomes.
