ISMRM-ESMRMB Joint Annual Meeting 2010



Clinical Intensive Education Program Sponsored by Earn up to 39.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM

We are pleased to present a series of clinical courses intended for radiologists and other medical professionals who are interested in brushing up and fine tuning their MR interpretation skills. « Neuro MR Imaging - Organizers: Pia C. Sundgren, M.D., M.P.H., and Walter Kucharczyk, M.D. « Body/MSK MR Imaging - Organizer: Juerg Hodler, M.D., M.B.A. We aim to provide practical take-home messages for daily clinical practice: « Optimizing imaging protocols « Recognizing common imaging artifacts (and their remedies) « Imaging pearls for diagnosis Some course sessions will be case-based, using an interactive audience response system. These two courses will run in parallel with the Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB meeting from Saturday to Wednesday but will have a different flavor. These two courses will incorporate some of the didactic and poster material from that meeting along with exclusive additional lectures for registrants. There will also be the opportunity to earn even more CME credits by attending Annual Meeting lectures on hot topics such as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, unmet needs of MRI in various areas, and application of the newest hardware, coils and sequences in the field. Registrants will have time during and after the course to review scientific posters and to attend the wide array of other sessions of the main ISMRM meeting, or just simply to take advantage of the wonderful touristic opportunities Stockholm provides.
