OVERVIEW:
This two-hour course is a joint collaboration
between the ISMRM and SMRT, and is designed to
showcase the unique contribution each society brings
to the clinical field of magnetic resonance. It aims
to begin the process of helping establish clear
guidelines for the use of Diffusion Tensor Imaging
in the clinical arena, and includes contributions
from MD's, scientists, technologists/radiographers
and clinicians working in the field of MR. The
principal topic to be covered is diffusion tensor
imaging in the brain. The overall goal of this
session is to begin a dialog to help produce
clinical guidelines for the use of this method in
the clinic. The format will include presentations,
point-counterpoint discussion and debate from the
panel and the floor. |
