OVERVIEW |
|
The main topics to be covered in this
one-day course are genotyping and phenotyping: the relevance of MRI;
physiological measurement with MRI; novel contrast agents for MRI;
and molecular imaging. Our overall goals will be to provide
experienced MR scientists with information on cutting edge
applications of MRI in biomedicine and developments of MRI in order
to increase its range of applicability in biomedicine. Speakers are
mainly basic scientists, and the format will be lectures and
discussion. |

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this course
participants should be able to:
- Explain how MRI can be used in
phenotyping white matter diseases;
- Explain how MRI can be used to
explore links between genetics and brain function;
- Describe how MRI can be used in
phenotyping small mammals;
- Explain how MRI is used in
tissue engineering;
- List advanced MRI techniques
that can be used in monitoring liver function;
- Describe applications of MRI
measurements of tissue perfusion outside the brain;
- Describe the new sorts of
contrast agents available; and
- Explain how these can be used in
molecular imaging.
