|
| OVERVIEW |
|
This half-day course will
provide a detailed overview of the methodological issues
that are important when undertaking quantitative
analyses. It will cover intermediate level topics in
quantitative MRI, and presenters will be physicists and
image processing scientists with extensive technical
experience. The theory underlying many current
approaches to quantification will be discussed, and
potential problems and artifacts will be highlighted and
explained. |
| |
The topics covered will
include:
- MR parameter mapping
- Dealing with data imperfections
- Image registration, segmentation, and
morphological analysis
- Cardiac motion modelling
- Spectroscopy modelling and analysis
|
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
course, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the additional scientific value of
quantitative methods for analysis of MR data;
- Explain the theoretical principles underlying
many current approaches to quantitative analyses;
- Select appropriate methods to minimize
contamination of data that are to be analyzed
quantitatively; and
- Identify the techniques most suitable for
particular applications.
