12th Annual Symposium on
Magnetic Resonance in Radiation Therapy

Status, Challenges & Opportunities

June 17-19 2026, Odense, Denmark

Endorsed by

MRinRT 2026

MRinRT 2026 is a three-day, single-track international symposium dedicated to advancing the integration of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in radiotherapy. The meeting will take place in Odense, Denmark, bringing together researchers, radiotherapy professionals, and industry partners to share the latest developments, challenges, and future directions in MRI-guided and MRI-informed radiotherapy. The symposium will feature a focused programme of invited lectures, proffered papers, poster-pitch and poster viewing, young investigator award and panel discussions, highlighting both clinical implementation and cutting-edge research in areas such as adaptive MRI-guided radiotherapy, quantitative and functional MRI, AI-driven workflows, and biological image guidance. This year, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) has been invited to join the scientific committee and has contributed to the development of the programme to foster collaboration between the radiotherapy and MRI communities. MRinRT 2026 aims to accelerate translation of MRI innovations into clinical practice, ultimately improving precision, personalization, and outcomes in cancer treatment.
