Overview
This half-day course will review the current state of the art
clinical applications and use of 3T MRI. 3T has become an
accepted clinical tool for neuro and musculoskeletal imaging and
is being actively developed for other applications such as body,
breast and prostate imaging. In addition to reviewing current
clinical practice this course will explore the challenges and
opportunities of advanced imaging techniques at 3T as well as
the technical challenges compared with 1.5T.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Define the role of high field MRI in current clinical practice;
• Describe the indication for the use of high field MRI for
neuroradiology applications in the brain and spine;
• Identify appropriate indications for the use of 3T MRI for
breast and prostate imaging;
• Describe the role of specialized imaging techniques such as
parallel imaging at 3T compared with 1.5T MRI; and
• Explain the role of specialized coils in optimizing high field
MRI in the clinical setting
Audience Description
This course is designed for:
•
Clinical radiologists, medical
physicists, engineers involved in clinical high field imaging,
as well as clinicians interested in bringing high field
MRI into
their practice.
