|
| OVERVIEW |
|
This one day course will
provide a comprehensive overview of advanced brain MRI
techniques including perfusion (both DSC and ASL),
diffusion (including tractography), combined advanced
techniques in specific disease processes, MEG, high
field MRI, high field MR spectroscopy, and PET-MR.
|
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Evaluate the potential role, advantages and
disadvantages of bolus perfusion and arterial spin
labeling;
- Describe the potential role of DTI and
tractography in clinical practice;
- Explain the role of advanced MR techniques
individually and in combination in clinical
practice; and
- Describe upcoming imaging technology that may
impact clinical practice.
