## Abstract

In March of 2025, 145 attendees convened at the Hub for Clinical Collaboration of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for the inaugural International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Body MRI Study Group workshop entitled “Body MRI: Unsolved Problems and Unmet Needs.” Approximately 24% of the attendees were MD or MD/PhD's, 45% were PhD's, and 30% were early‐career trainees and postdoctoral associates. Among the invited speakers and moderators, 28% were from outside the United States, with a 40:60% female‐to‐male ratio. The 2.5‐day program brought together a multidisciplinary group of scientists, radiologists, technologists, and trainees. Session topics included quantitative imaging biomarkers, low‐ and high‐field strengths, artifact and motion correction, rapid imaging and focused protocols, and artificial intelligence. Another key session focused on the importance of team science and allowed speakers from academia and industry to share their personal experiences and offer advice on how to successfully translate new MRI technology into clinical practice. This article summarizes key points from the event and perceived unmet clinical needs within the field of body MRI.
