| OVERVIEW |
|
This four hour course focuses on newer techniques and
applications in body MRI. The Tuesday session will provide
an overview of pulmonary MRI including new techniques for
proton based pulmonary MRI and a review of hyperpolarized
gas MRI. The Wednesday session on pelvic MRI will provide an
expert’s opinion on how to best image rectal cancer and how
to perform and interpret non-neuro fetal MRI. On Thursday,
methods for performing MRI guided vascular and non-vascular
interventions will be discussed. In the final session on
Friday, the issues related to whole body MRI for cancer
assessment and lymph node detection will be presented. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Compare the potential utility of the various
methods for pulmonary MRI including
proton-based techniques and hyperpolarized gas MRI;
- Protocol and interpret MRI examinations for the evaluation
of rectal cancer and non-neuro
fetal abnormalities;
- Describe the techniques for MRI guided interventions
including vascular and non-vascular
interventions;
- Identify patients and clinical situations in which whole
body MRI for cancer evaluation and lymph node detection would be appropriate, and protocol
and interpret the examinations;
