OVERVIEW |
This two-hour course focuses on
evaluation of the structure and function of the lung using MRI.
State-of-the-art approaches for detecting pulmonary emboli and
evaluating pulmonary perfusion will be described. In addition, two
evolving methods will be highlighted: oxygen-enhanced MRI for
assessment of lung function, and hyperpolarized noble-gas MRI for
providing functional and structural insights for the pediatric lung.
All presentations feature didactic-interactive lectures using
audience response technology. |
|
TARGET AUDIENCE |
This course is aimed at
radiologists, imaging scientists and MR technologist who wish to
review the state-of-art for evaluating the lung using MRI, and to
learn about developing pulmonary-imaging techniques that are likely
to impact clinical practice in the near future. |
|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this
course, participants should be able to: |
- Identify the unique
information on lung function provided by oxygen-enhanced MRI;
- Use pulmonary MR
angiography and pulmonary-perfusion MR imaging for appropriate
clinical indications; and
- Differentiate the
capabilities of hyperpolarized-gas MRI from those of
conventional proton-based techniques for evaluating the lung.
