Overview
Beyond Caipirinha and Cod: MRI delights in Portuguese

- Good Ingredients Make a Good Dish: Sequence Programming
- A Real Starter: Preclinical MRI
- Creating Chef's Signature Dishes: MR in Clinical Practice

In-person lectures will be in Portuguese. English version of the lectures will be pre-recorded and available online.

Target Audience
Radiographers, MR technologists, radiologists, clinicians, and scientists interested in learning about the clinical translation of technological advances in MRI.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain MR sequence programming;
- Define pre-clinical MRI; and
- Identify value of MR in clinical practice.

09:20		Good Ingredients Make a Good Dish: Open-Source Sequence Programming View Presentation Video Rita Nunes Keywords: Image acquisition: Sequences In this presentation, I will introduce the open-source pulse sequence programming tool Pulseq. I will start by describing how it interacts with the scanner and how to install it. I will then go through simple sequence examples (gradient and spin echo sequences), describing how to add RF pulses, gradients and acquisition objects to the sequence. Finally, I will provide examples of a few more advanced applications focusing on quantitative MRI, namely diffusion, T1 and T2 mapping
09:50		A Real Starter: Preclinical MRI View Presentation Video Aurea Martins Bach Keywords: Physics & Engineering: Preclinical MRI, : Preclinical/Animal Preclinical MRI is a key resource for translational research. It allows researchers to bring basic science to the benefit of patients, and to test and validate hypotheses derived from clinical research in animal models. The ability to use the same MRI methods and pulse sequences in clinical and preclinical scanners is a major advantage not available with other approaches. However, differences in sample size create possible difficulties in preclinical MRI. In this presentation, we will discuss the major challenges and benefits of preclinical MRI and showcase real-world applications, including preclinical research conducted in regions of the world with varying resources.
10:20		Creating Chef's Signature Dishes: MR in Clinical Practice View Presentation Video Alessandro Mazzola Keywords: Education Committee: Clinical MRI, Physics & Engineering: Physics MRI has always had a connection with food. The idea of using a magnetic field gradient came up while professor Paul Lauterbur was having dinner and scribbled the idea on a napkin. Choosing a good dish in a restaurant starts with a menu. Protocols are our menu and, like dishes in a restaurant, we need standardization and quality. The master chef in MRI will be the person who can deliver the best dish, with the highest quality at the shortest time. Artificial Intelligence will help us to perform MRI scans even more but we should pay more attention to safety.
