Overview
This one and a half day course will provide an introduction to
the range of quantitative image and data analysis methods
currently applied to MR data. It will cover the impact of
analysis and post-processing techniques on the interpretation
and quantification of data, as well as provide a broad
foundation in analysis methodology. Basic methodologies will be
introduced and discussed in detail while, for recent, advanced
methodologies, the general principles will be introduced but
with less emphasis on detail. Applications of the methods will
be demonstrated in a range of body areas.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the methods used for basic statistical analysis of
quantitative MR parameters;
• Identify sources of image/data artifact and be able to select
and apply methods for artifact reduction;
• Describe the principals of image registration, segmentation,
and volume measurement, and select and use appropriate software
implementations of them;
• Describe the methods available for quantitative motion and
flow measurement;
• Identify key analysis and acquisition requirements for
longitudinal and multi-centre quantitative MR studies;
• Explain the basics of quantitative analysis of MR spectra;
• Explain the basics of quantitative MR elastographic imaging;
and
• Evaluate the impact of quantitative analysis methodology on
their research interests.
Audience Description
This course is designed for:
•
Individuals with little or no
background in data analysis but with some understanding of
mathematics and the basic science of MRI.
•
The content is
suitable for either clinical or basic science researchers who
have been, or will be, involved in analyzing MR data or
designing methods
for acquiring accurate quantitative data.
•
This
course is especially suitable for those early in their career,
including students, who wish to gain a foundation in data
analysis methods for MR.
