description ABSTRACT: The 36th Annual International Meeting of the Society for Magnetic Resonance Angiography (SMRA), held from November 12–15, 2024, in Santiago de Chile, marked a milestone as the first SMRA conference in Latin America. Themed ''The Ever-Changing Landscape of MRA'', the event highlighted the rapid advancements in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), including cutting-edge developments in contrast-enhanced MRA, contrast-free techniques, dynamic, multi-parametric, and multi-contrast MRA, 4D flow, low-field solutions and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technologies, among others. The program featured 174 attendees from 15 countries, including 43 early-career scientists and 30 industry representatives. The conference offered a rich scientific agenda, with 12 plenary talks, 24 educational talks, 98 abstract presentations, a joint SMRA-MICCAI challenge on intracranial artery lesion detection and segmentation and a joint session with the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) emphasizing accessibility, low-field MRI, and AI's transformative role in cardiac imaging. The meeting's single-track format fostered engaging discussions on interdisciplinary research and highlighted innovations spanning various vascular beds. This paper summarizes the conference's key themes, emphasizing the collaborative efforts driving the future of MRA, while reflecting on SMRA's vision to advance research, education, and clinical practice globally.
