| OVERVIEW |
|
This four hour course will focus on basic anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology and clinical information on
various organ systems and diseases that are deemed relevant
for physicists and engineers. These will include the central
nervous system, kidneys, liver, cardiovascular and
musculoskeletal systems and selected diseases in each
system. All lecturers are clinicians with strong clinical
knowledge of the topic. The talks will also focus on unmet
technical and engineering needs that need to be overcome in
the future in order to facilitate better understanding of
physiology and diseases. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Identify basic anatomy and physiology of the
central nervous system, kidney, liver,
cardiac, vascular and musculoskeletal systems;
- Describe the process and diagnosis of stroke and white
matter formation and damage;
- Explain kidney and liver anatomy and function and how MRI
can be used to evaluate
these organs;
- Describe basic cardiac physiology and the consequences of
coronary artery disease
and heart failure;
- Describe the process of bone and cartilage formation and
degeneration; and
- Appraise unmet clinical needs that could potentially be
solved by physicists and
engineers.
